School Start Time – Just a reminder that school starts at 8.50am with the gates opening at 8.40am. We are seeing an increase in parents who are frequently late, and therefore their children are missing approximately an hour, to an hour and a half of school a week. Please be on time.
School Finish Time – School finishes at 3.20pm, with the younger classes coming out a few minutes earlier. If you know you are unavoidably late, please contact us so we can reassure the children that you are on your way.
