Our School Day

Our morning Nursery sessions run from 8.45 - 11.45 and our afternoon sessions run from 12.30pm - 3.30pm. For more information on our Nursery School Day, please refer to the Nursery and Reception section of our website (Our Little Hearts).

 

School is open for children in Reception to Year 6 from 8:55. All children must be in their classroom by 8.55 am ready for registration. School closes at 3:15 pm, making our school week a total of 31 hours and 40 minutes.

 

The school gates open at 8.45 each morning. Once inside the gates, children should be taken by their responsible adult to their external classroom door where their teacher or teaching assistant will welcome them inside (unless they are in Y5/6 and have permission to walk to and from school unaccompanied). School staff cannot take responsibility for children before 8:45am. Parents/carers must remain with their children until this time.

 

At the end of the day, all children should be collected by a responsible adult at the appropriate time (other than Year 5/6 children who may have permission to walk home unaccompanied).  Please inform school if the adult collecting is not the usual adult so that we can safeguard your child. As part of our legal duty to protect pupils, teachers will not release children to unfamiliar adults without parent/carer consent prior to collection.

 

The school gates are closed each morning at 8.55am. If a child arrives after 8.55am, the parent and the child must enter through the main entrance and report to the office for a late mark. The child must be signed in by a parent/carer and will receive a late mark in the register. If a child arrives after 9:25am, the morning’s absence will be recorded as ‘U’ which indicates that the child arrived after the morning register closed.

 

Lateness is closely monitored by the school and the Lancashire County Council Attendance Officer.

 

Please ensure that your child(ren) arrive at school ON TIME for a prompt start to the day as they may miss the beginning of a lesson.

 

For Health and Safety reasons, we ask that no dogs be brought into the school grounds.

 

If your child is absent from school, please telephone the office on the first morning so that their absence is registered.
