Our School Day
Mornings
For some children our school day begins at 7.45 when they arrive at our Breakfast Club.
At 8.45 our doors are open and we are ready to start learning at 8.50am
Children head to one of our four classes -
Class 1 (Pre-school and Reception)
Class 2 (Years 1 and 2),
Class 3 (Years 3 and 4)
Class 4 (Years 5 and 6)
Once children have been registered, they head into:
Collective Worship
Daily worship happens every day and is led by teachers, our worship leaders, members of the clergy and visitors. We welcome parents to join us in our sharing assemblies throughout the year, including special festivals and at the end of term. On a Friday we have a special celebration worship where we get to share how we have shown our Values throughout the week. We also find out who our Stars of the Week are: those pupils who have shone in their learning!
As a Church of England school, our values are promoted across the school day, as well as in worship.
From Worship, we head into learning and lessons. In the mornings we focus mostly on maths and English.
Break Time
We have a 15 minute morning break when we have fun in our playground and field and eat our snacks. We are an Opal School, and are developing our outdoor areas, play equipment and activities.Snacks and School milk
All infant (R,Y1,& Y2) pupils receive a free piece of fruit or vegetable through the nutritional fruit and vegetable scheme. Junior pupils can also join the scheme at a nominal cost. All pupils are encouraged to bring healthy snacks. Milk is also available to all pupils and is free for those in in reception until their 5th birthday. Milk can be ordered through the Cool Milk scheme.Lunchtime
Lunch is served in two sittings, with all children being able to sit with their friends and socialise to eat and then have time out together playing and connecting.School Dinners
Our meals are cooked on site by local provider, Cater Cater. Children have a choice of 2 healthy hot meals, as well as a packed lunch option. All children in Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 are entitled to receive these meals free of charge. Children whose parents are in receipt of Universal Credit can also receive free school meals in any year group.Packed Lunches
Children may bring a packed lunch if they prefer. All children eat their lunch, hot or cold in the school hall.Swimming Pool
We are lucky to have our own outdoor heated swimming pool. In the summer term this is opened and children have intensive, regular sessions to ensure they are able to swim and meet the requirements of the National Curriculum. We have a swimming pool committee who raise funds towards the running of the pool and ensure it is always ready for action.
Sports
We have excellent facilities for sport, a large playing field and playground, as well as gymnastic equipment in the school hall. Children are taught sport and exercise as a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle. Qualified sports coaches often work with all classes. We take part in many local sporting events, such as cross country running, tag rugby, swimming gala and multi sports.
Musical Opportunity
We have many visiting music teachers, and our children are offered opportunities to enjoy piano and guitar lessons. These lessons are taught by external music teachers, paid for by parents. We feel that the teaching of music develops pupils ability to listen and appreciate a wide variety of music. Children are fortunate also to have access to a music specialist, who teaches each class music every week.
School finishes at 3:15pm.
After School
Extra-Curricular Clubs
Children are welcome to attend a number of after school clubs run at the school by staff, sports coaches, parents and community volunteers. These are from the end of the school day until 4pm. These change every term and children can choose which clubs they would like to attend at the beginning of the term.
After School Club
For those children who need additional time in school we have provision after school. This is available until 5.00pm. Click here for further information.
