Our School Day
Morning gate will open from 8.30am.
All children should be in school ready to start lessons for 8.45am.
The school day finishes at 3.15pm. (6.5 hour Day)
Due to the number of children in school and their safety on exit, the children leave at staggered times at the end of the day.
In March 2022, the Government introduced a non-statutory expectation of a 32.5 hour minimum core school week by September 2023. In July 2023 the deadline to meet this expectation was deferred to September 2024 at the latest, in recognition of the pressures facing schools. This applies to all mainstream, state-funded schools in England. It does not include pupils in early years settings, 16-19 provision (including school sixth forms) or specialist settings, such as special schools and alternative provision, but specialist settings and alternative provision are also encouraged to consider extending their core week where appropriate. A core school week is the time from morning registration to the official end of the school day for all pupils (including breaks). It does not include optional activities, or those that are only available for some pupils.
