In Years 3 and 4 a lunchtime of one hour is provided between 11:45 am and 12:45 pm. In Years 5 and 6 a lunchtime of one hour is provided between 12:45 pm and 1:45 pm. This is to ensure a less crowded and safer midday break.
In Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 we ask that children arrive no earlier than 8:45 am when the gates will be opened. Children then make their way directly to their classrooms ready to begin the day at 8:55 am. Parents are welcome to wait and collect their children from the playground or covered seating area at 3:20 pm.
All children in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 also have a 15 minute break during the day.
