Breakfast Club- This FREE club runs from 8:00am each morning until 8:35am. Access is via the main Edward St gate. It is based:

in the Early Years unit for Nursery & Reception,

in the Main Hall for years 1, 2 and 3 and

in the Breakfast Club room beside the library for years  4, 5 & 6.

The school will take responsibility for children attending Breakfast Club from, but not before, 8:00am each day. The school yard will be manned from 8:30am each day, there will be no member of staff on the school yard to supervise pupils before this time. School will therefore not take any responsibility for any children on the school premises before 8:30am unless they attend breakfast club.

 

 

Nursery + Reception

Access to the school is the main Edward Street Entrance. The unit’s doors open at 8:45am Parents should bring their child to the Early Years unit, hand them over then leave the site immediately.  However, they can attend Breakfast Club from 8.00am each day provided that they are independent enough to manage. 15 hours Nursery children should be collected from the Early Years gate on the school yard at 12 noon. 

Parents who are entitled to 15 hours provision only, can pay for their child  to stay from 12 noon until 3.10pm each day should they need this provision. The charge is £50 per week. This option is only open to those parents who wish their child to attend these extra hours every day, Monday to Friday (term time only), It is  offered on an ad hoc basis and can only be offered where there is capacity to do so. This is due to Early Years ratios.

For 30 hours nursery and reception children the school day ends at 3.10pm and children should be collected from the early years gate on the school yard.

 

 

Infants & Juniors

Access to the site in the morning is through the Edward St Vehicle Gate.   The bell will ring at 8:45am. The end of the school day is at 3:15pm. Parents can collect their children from the following places on the school yard.
