The start of the school day
The gates are open from 8:35am and from this time, pupils are able to go straight into their classrooms where they complete Early Morning Activities (EMA). School officially starts at 8:50am and children that arrive after 8:55am are marked as arriving late.
We have a pupil gate on Fernhill Road and another on the alley that joins Stubbs Moor Road.
During the first few days, children may be escorted into the classrooms, but from the first full week, we encourage children to come in to the classroom on their own. They hang up their coats and bags and put their named lunch box into the class crate which is in their classroom. Crates are then put in a safe place until lunchtime.
At the end of the day
Children meet their parents on the playground. If for any reason you have been held up, children are told to go to reception to wait for you. If an older sibling is collecting, please ensure that they are behaving in a mature and responsible manner or you may be asked to make alternative arrangements.
The school gates are closed at 09.00 and are not reopened until 15.10. If you need to attend the school during the school day access is via the main entrance.
