THE SCHOOL DAY
 Start of the day
School opens at 8.10am and the headmistress or form teachers greet the children on arrival. You will be notified of the time that each form is expected to arrive at school prior to the commencement of the academic year. It is extremely important that children arrive on time. Younger siblings should be dropped off at the same time as the older child.
Assembly
Assembly is held at the commencement of the day. It is led by form teachers or the headmistress. On Friday each form takes a turn giving a presentation to other forms. Religious topics, current affairs, school rules and items of general interest are covered. The Lord's Prayer is said at the end of each Assembly.
Break time
All children have a mid-morning break. Children are given a drink of water and milk is provided as an option for Reception free of charge. Children of all ages are encouraged to bring in a healthy snack such as a piece of fruit to eat during break time. Sweets, crisps, canned or bottled drinks are not permitted and our 'no nuts' policy must be observed.
All pupils then go outside for supervised play in the playground except during very wet weather.
Lunch
We aim to offer a menu that is balanced, nutritional and appealing.
A seasonal menu is planned at the beginning of each term. All produce
is of a high quality, from a reliable source and is prepared on site
in the school kitchen. The weekly menu is displayed on the notice
board in the Avenue and on our website.
Please notify the school office if your child is a vegetarian or has other special dietary requirements.
End of the school day
Parents are expected to collect their child/children from school at
the appointed times. If arrangements have been made for someone other
than the usual person to collect your child, it is essential that
written notification be given to either the form teacher or school
office in the morning. This requirement also applies where arrangements
for a school run have been made. You will be notified of the collection
times for each form prior to the commencement of the academic year.
On the last day of each term Reception and Form I are to be collected at
12.00, Forms II and III at 12.25 and the rest of the school at 12.45.
