School Day

School Day Timings

Children can be dropped off from 8.35am, when they will be supervised by a member of staff on the playground. Please note children should not arrive on site before this time as we are unable to supervise them.

Children go into class at 8.45am ready to start lessons by 8.55am. Please avoid missing out on important teaching input and learning, by ensuring that your child is in their classroom ready for registration at 8.55am.

In the event of bad weather, parents and children may go in to the hall from 8.35am until 8.45am.

Some small intervention groups begin at 8.45am. If your child is involved in these groups, please ensure that they are in school and ready to start at 8.45am.

All children need to be picked up at 3.15pm, after this they will be sent to the school office. This will ensure our teaching staff, who are kindly offering a wide range of after school clubs, can supervise children in their after school clubs straight away.

Drop Off and Pick Up During the COVID-19 Pandemic

In accordance with government and DFE guidance, parents need to avoid gathering on the school site. This is to protect parents who (as adults) are more at risk than the children. This also includes gathering by the school gates both within the school site and outside.

It would really help us if we could arrange for all children to be ready with their equipment, coat, bag etc with them rather than parents exiting cars to hand them over. If you are waiting in a parking bay, please wait for a member of staff to come and collect/return your child.

Collection times have been staggered as follows:

• 3.15pm for those with single collections
• 3.20pm for multiple/ family collections
• 3.25pm for those walking or cycling - staff will escort to the gates. In accordance with Oxfordshire County Council guidelines, cyclists should be wearing a cycle helmet.
