We encourage all children to arrive at school before the bell sounds at 8.55am. Being on time for school is very important therefore we encourage you to be here before the bell sounds.
Pupils who arrive late can often disrupt their classes and teachers when entering late and this can cause embarrassment for the child. They may also miss out on important instructions and information about the day which can impact their learning.
Doors open at 8.55am. Parents/carers of pupils in the nursery may come in to the classroom to help their child hang up their belongings.
Once your child moves in to the reception class and is settled we encourage pupils to come in to the classrooms by themselves to hang their belongings. This is to help promote their independence.
Pupils arriving once the teacher has closed the door will need to go to the school office and sign in their child. This is so we can ensure all children are marked in the register as once the teacher has taken the register it cannot be amended.
Any pupils signing in at the office will receive a late mark.
Children may wait in their playground for the bell to go. Once the bell has gone at 8.55am, they will line up ready for their class teacher to escort them to their classrooms.
Parents/carers should not accompany children into their classrooms.
Once the last pupil in the line has entered the classroom door it will be closed.
Any pupils arriving after this time will need to be taken to the school main office to sign in. This is so we can ensure all children are marked in the register as once the teacher has taken the register it cannot be amended.
Parents / Carers must sign their child in using the InVentry system at the main office, giving a reason for their child’s lateness.
Any pupils signing in at the office will receive a late mark.
Children may wait in their playground for the bell to go. The bell sounds at 8.55am.
Children should line up in the playground and will be escorted to their classroom by their teacher.

Parents / Carers must sign their child in using the InVentry system at the main office, giving a reason for their child’s lateness. Where a child arrives at the office without a parent / carer they are encouraged to sign themselves in using the InVentry system.
Any pupils signing in at the office will receive a late mark.
In the event of bad weather, the bell will ring 3 times at 8:45am, which signifies that all children may enter the building and report to their classrooms earlier where school staff will supervise them.
Parents of children in Years 1 to 6 should not accompany their child into the classroom.
The school day begins at 8.55am; pupils arriving after 8.55am will be marked as late.
The school day ends at 3pm and it is important that your child is collected promptly.
We appreciate that there may be rare occasions where a parent / carer may be late. Where there is an emergency or unplanned event which means a pupil may be collected late we ask that you notify the school office so they are able to get a message to your child’s teacher.
Pupils from Nursery to Year 2 who have not been collected at 3pm will be brought across to the main school office. Children in KS2 know to come to the main office and advise the office staff that they have not been collected. Where we are aware of a reason for late collection office staff will supervise the child until the parent arrives.
In instances where the office has not been informed, they will attempt to contact the parent by phone and ascertain how long they will be. School policy regarding this is as follows;
Parents / carers of late collected pupils will be required to sign out the pupil using our inVentry system in the main office. This must be done by the collecting adult giving clearly the reason why the child has been collected late. Simply typing LATE is unacceptable.
There are other instances whereby it is NOT acceptable. For example;
These are unacceptable reasons. Arrangements should be made to ensure your child is collected from school on time.
