Key Stage 2 children should be left on the playground at 8.50am with the teacher who is on duty. All parents/carers need to stand at the edge of the playground so that the school staff can make sure all the children can line up safely. The Key Stage 2 bell is rung at 8.50am.
At Key Stage 1 a whistle is blown at 8.55am for the children to collect their belongings from parents/carers, this is followed by a bell for the children to line up in their classes. Parents/carers are asked to move to the edge of the playground for the children to line up, therefore enabling the staff to clearly see all the pupils. The class teacher will escort them into school.
At the end of the day, Key Stage 1 children will leave school by their own classroom exit and we ask that parents/carers make sure that they pick their children up from their classroom. It is not appropriate for KSI children to leave the building unaccompanied. It is important that you collect your child on time and let us know if you are delayed for any reason. Please also inform school staff if someone different will be picking your child up. Staff will not let children go with unknown adults for safety reasons.
The Key Stage 2 children will leave school from the children’s entrance. at the rear of the school and will wait on the KS2 playground to be collected by parents/carers.
Children are asked not to leave the school premises if there is no-one there to collect them and they will be looked after in school until you arrive, if ever you are late.
School Gate Closure
For safety reasons the school gates are closed to vehicles between 8.45 – 9.00am and again between 3.10 – 3.30pm.
If your child arrives after 9.15am, they will need to be signed in at the school office at the entrance on Carson Road.
