| As many parents are aware, we open the side gate at 8.40am so that the children can wait on the school path rather than on Earlsdon Avenue North. The school day begins at 8.45am and the children from breakfast club and those who arrive at this time walk into school, put their belongings away and then start their early morning challenges. School staff are on the path from 8.40am—9am to welcome children into school. The side gate will close at 9am. At 9am classroom registers and meal choices for lunchtime are taken; lessons begin straight after this has been completed. If children arrive after 9am they will have to sign in through the main school entrance and they will miss their early morning challenges which may include completing learning from the previous day, practising key maths facts, spellings and handwriting. We would like to encourage families to arrive just after 8.45am to give the children time to put away their belongings, complete an early morning task and feel settled and ready for the day ahead. Thank you for your continued support |
