Our School Day
The school day officially starts at 8.45am - although staff are on duty from 8.35am to receive the children.
The day ends at 3.15pm for KS2 3.20 for KS1, a staggered end, to help with any possible congestion on the playground and local roads.
This equates to 32 hours and 30 minutes per week in KS2 and 32 hours 55 minutes in KS1 (although they have an afternoon break).

Organisation of Our School
The school is a Primary School and accepts children from the September following their fourth birthday, until the age of eleven. Most of the learning is under the control of the class teacher who is with the children every day. We have additional support staff who work with the classes and with small groups, giving children opportunities for additional individual teacher attention. The classes are numbered according to the National Curriculum year group.

Teachers regularly assess and report upon pupil progress in all subject areas, with a particular focus on English and Maths. We hold two parent consultation evenings each year to discuss progress and achievements and provide ongoing next step target cards for them to assist their children’s learning. We provide a written report at the end of the academic year. Assessments take the form of formal, summative assessments such as non-statutory national curriculum tests and also teacher assessments which are carried out regularly throughout the year. However, the most important aspect of our communication policy is our ‘Open Door’ ethos. This ensures that staff and parents are in constant contact and can act quickly should there be any issues.
