Key Dates and Times

The academy open at 08:45 and close at 08:55am. Should you arrive after this time please take your child to the school office.  Arrival after the academy gates close will be recorded in the register as late. If a child is frequently late, parents and carers will be invited to a meeting with a member of the senior leadership team to discuss ways to support. All parents and carers arriving late with their children after the gates close will need to enter through the Academy office where the time and reason for being late will be recorded by a member of the admin support team.  

The academy closes at 3.15pm. Children in Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1 are dismissed by teachers to their parents or whoever is collecting them onto the key stage 1 playground.  

Key stage 2 children are dismissed from their classrooms and they meet their parents on the key stage 2 playground. We supervise the collection of the children on the Key Stage 2 playground and share our safety procedures with the children. They know to remain with a member of staff on the playground if there is nobody to collect them on the playground.
