Drop off

All entrance gates will be open at 08:30am every morning and the children will be welcomed by Mrs Loughnane, Mrs Newbury and a member of SLT.

Nursery and Reception
Nursery and Year R doors will open at 8:45am for the children to enter the nursery and Year R. Children can continue to enter this way until 8:55am when the gates will be closed. Parents of children in Nursery and Reception can accompany the children to the Nursery and Year R door. If children arrive after 8:55am they will need to enter the school through the Main Reception gate at the front of the school where they will be signed in.

Year 1 to Year 6
Parents of children in Year 1 – 6 can drop the children off at the gate in the morning between 8:30am and 8:40am. Parents are not permitted onto the playground in the morning. These gates will be closed at 8:40am. If children arrive after 8:40am they will need to enter the school through the Main Reception gate at the front of the school where they will be signed in.

Pick up

The gates will be opened at 3:00pm.

Nursery and Reception

Nursery and Reception children will be dismissed at 3:10 from the same drop off point.

Year 1 to Year 6

Children in Year 1 to Year 6 will be dismissed at 3:15pm. At drop off time parents can enter via the gate on Gorse road/Thistle way and make their way to the playground. Parents of children in Birch class will be directed to the playground outside the classroom. Parents of children from all other classes will be directed to the main playground. The teachers will bring their classes to the playground and dismiss the children straight to their parents.

There are lots of children to dismiss. In order to do this safely and effectively, please can I ask that parents stay back on the playground until their children are dismissed to them. If parents wish to speak to the teacher at the end of the day, please can I ask that they wait until the teacher has dismissed all of their children.

If you have any questions about this, please can you email the office. For the first week all SLT members will be present to help and direct parents.
