​​​​​​​Important information

Reception and 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 a child, a password must be used so that school can ensure it is the correct person. Staff always accompany younger children to the buses.

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

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. The gate is locked at 3.40pm.
