Morning Routine
Children are entitled to 32.5 hours per week in school – equating to 6.5 hours per day.
A very successful “Drop-Off Scheme” operates each morning from 08:15 – 08:30 (Gates open at 08:10 and close at 08:35), using the dedicated car pull-in spaces within the school grounds, the children will be greeted and accompanied to the playground or classroom by one of a number of adult parent/carer volunteers.
To help reduce congestion and keep traffic moving safely, we strongly encourage all drivers to:
• Approach the school one way (from the Wellow direction) via Station Road.
• Turn left when exiting the school driveway.
This will help minimise delays and prevent traffic backing up onto Station Road and the main road.
Once your child has arrived at school and the register has been called we check to make sure that all external doors are unable to be opened from the outside. Main access to the school is then via the doors signposted Reception where the school office manage enquiries.
Early Morning Club
Our Morning Club will run every school day from 7:45am until 8:15am and will be supervised by Mrs Swift, Mrs Cool, Ms Cowdrey and Ms Holt.
There will be 20 places available each day, and the cost will be £1.00 per session. All Morning Club sessions must be booked and paid for in advance through Arbor, as we will be unable to guarantee a place for children who have not been pre-booked. Please note, there is currently no food offering at morning club. Morning Club drop off will be at the main Reception entrance to school.

SCHOOL PICK-UP SCHEME
In conjunction with the “Drop-Off Scheme” we also run a “Pick-Up Scheme”.
• Afternoon collection: Gates open at 2:50pm
All staff take their responsibility very seriously to ensure that all children leave the school premises safely and on time.
The ‘pick up’ system, which was put in place a few years ago, has ensured that parents/carers can pick their children up safely and conveniently. The school staff have been instrumental in enabling this to happen, with many of the teachers and TAs going above and beyond their contracted duties to make sure that pick up runs smoothly.
Independant Leavers
If your child is in Year 5 or Year 6 and you wish them to be an independant leaver, please can you contact the school office where they will provide you with the relevant consent paperwork.
