New start of the day arrangements

New start of the day arrangements

Thank you for the overwhelmingly positive feedback we have received about our new start of the day routine. Teachers are now in their classrooms, ready to receive children, from 8.20am each morning. Doors remain open until 8.30am when they then close and registers are taken. Your child can arrive anytime between 8.20am and 8.30am. If your child arrives late (after 8.30am) they will need to enter school via the main entrance and be signed in there.

We are trialling this new system, used by many other schools, in order to improve punctuality as well as to allow teachers to ‘touch base’ with individual children as they arrive. We are hoping it will help improve communication between parents and teachers as our doors are literally open each morning. It also means the school day can start more promptly and therefore learning time will be maximised. It is having the added benefit of reducing traffic congestion and parking problems outside of school, which is good news for everyone! Thank you for your support.
