Before and After School
We welcome parents into our grounds in the morning from 8:40am when there is a teacher on duty and in the afternoons from 2:50pm. Please collect your child from the top COLA or back gate. Please do not wait at your child’s classroom as this can distract from learning. (This may change during COVID restrictions)

Arriving Late or Leaving Early
Arriving late – Please attend the front office with your child to sign in or send them in with a note.
Leaving early – Please send your child to school with a note, sign them out and collect them from the front office. If you are picking up early unexpectedly then go to the office to sign them out and your child will be called to the office. Please be aware that during lunch playtime the children are on the playground & it may take some time to get them to the office so pickup outside lunch playtime of 1.00pm-1.40pm is encouraged.
