At Freshwater, the school gates will open at 8.25am and close promptly at 8.30am. Children arriving after this time will need to report to the school main office to sign in.
Children in Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 will drop off and pick up from the main school gate near the main front entrance.

We expect parents/carers to stay with the children until a member of staff comes to collect them.
