All children are expected to arrive at school on time each day, with the school day beginning promptly at 8.45am and ending at 3.15pm. Punctuality is essential to ensure a calm and positive start to learning, as late arrival can be disruptive to both the child and the class. Good attendance and arriving on time every day help children to make the most of their learning opportunities, build strong routines, and develop important life skills such as responsibility and commitment. We ask for the support of parents and carers in ensuring that children attend school regularly and arrive on time so that they can fully benefit from all aspects of school life.
