1-8 Handbook

Daily Routine: Years 3 to 8 Pupils in Years 3-8 may arrive from 08.00, when the playground will be supervised; they will not be able to access lockers and toilets until 08.15. The school day begins at 08.30 when a whistle is blown on the playground.

Pupils arriving after 08.30 must report immediately to the School Office to sign in. Lateness is disruptive to the education of the latecomer and all his classmates.

The normal departure time is 15.50 for Years 3 and 4 and 16.15 for Years 5-8.

Please try to be on time to pick up your son as teachers have other commitments once the children have gone home. We shall try to see that he is on time for you.

Different collection arrangements: all years

Please let us know by email, by note or by telephone if your child will be collected either regularly or occasionally by someone other than his parents. We will not release your child to someone else without permission obtained in advance. Please also ensure that your child knows who will be collecting him on any given day. The pupils often get very anxious if you are late, and Staff may have meetings or duties to attend to. You should phone the School Office (before 17.15) if you are held up. Please also ensure that your child knows the pick-up arrangements for each day. Report to the School Office on arrival, and the Office Staff will organise for your child to be brought, or to come up, to the car park to meet you.

Clubs and Activities There is an extensive programme of clubs and activities running through the School; details will be provided by clubs coordinators. In Years 1 and 2 , clubs and activities end at 16.00; in Years 3 and 4 they end at 16.15, with a Late Club available until 17.15; in Years 5-8 they end at 17.15 and include a supervised prep club.
