We endeavour to make the process of morning drop offs and end of day collections as easy as possible for parents.
Daily Arrangements
Parents are given a fob which operates the main door from 8.00am. Parents who bring their child into school before this time, are asked to remain with their child until 8.00am when staff come on duty. Staff in school before this time have chosen to do so for planning and preparation.
School opens at 8.00am. Pupils arriving between 8.00am – 8.30am have Early Bird supervision as follows:
Nursery – Nursery Department
Reception – Reception class
Year 1/2 – Year 1 classroom
KS2 – Years 4 & 5 classrooms
The end of the day is staggered to try to make parking a little easier and reduce congestion in the Crescent. Wherever possible parents are asked to leave promptly once they have collected their child to give the parents of older pupils space to park. Parents are given a 30 minute window until 4.00pm to collect their children, without charge.
The charge for afterschool covers the period from:
3.30pm – 6pm at £7 daily. There is a fixed charge of £10 per day for any pupils collected after 6pm.
A light tea is provided and various activities will be offered each day.
- At the end of the day Nursery and Reception pupils can be collected directly from their classrooms by using the side entry gate, Nursery at 3.00pm and Reception at 3.15pm.
- Year 1 & 2 pupils not staying for a club or after school will be brought to the front door at 3.20pm and 3.25pm respectively and if parents are not there to receive them, will wait in the dining room until 4.00pm when they will be registered for after school.
- All KS2 pupils not staying for a club or after school will wait in Year 3 classroom until 4.00pm and if not collected will be registered for after school. All afterschool clubs start at 3.45pm.
- When collecting children from an afterschool club children will be brought to the front door and if not collected will be registered in after school.
As part of our on-going commitment to keep our children safe, a collection password system has been introduced for children who attend Nursery, Afterschool or Holiday Club. The password system applies only to people who do not regularly collect from school.
An agreed password will be added to our Database and the child will only be released from school once the password has been given. This system ensures the safety of the child and that the person collecting the child has permission to do so.
Parents collecting from Afterschool must use the side gate so that staff are always aware of the whereabouts of the children.
