KS1 children should be brought to the First School playground which is also where they will be collected at the end of the day. The teachers ensure that each child is collected safely by the relevant parent or ‘carer’.  If anyone else is collecting your child, please give them (and us) a password that we can use to ensure it's the correct person. Teachers always accompany younger children to the buses.

KS2/3 School children make their own way to the F/S playground at the end of the day. Year 3 children are accompanied until Christmas / Spring depending on maturity.

Children should not arrive at school before 8:40 a.m. and should be off the school premises within ten minutes of the afternoon session.
