The entrance doors for full time children open at 8:35 and close at 8:45, with lessons beginning at 8:45 sharp. Please ensure that your child arrives for 8:35 so that he/she has time to settle in the classroom before learning begins at 8:45. The class teachers will be at the classroom door, ready to welcome the children and begin learning promptly. Your child may use any entrance, but we highly recommend the entrances detailed on the map below. However, we understand that older children may need to come into school with a younger sibling due to the difficulties of our site.
To support communication, a consistent member of staff will be stationed at each entrance every morning. They will be available to take any brief messages and greet the children as they arrive. If you need to share anything specific or more detailed regarding your child, teachers will continue to check Class Dojo messages before 8:30am each day, and they will remain available to speak with parents at the end of the school day.
Children with SEND who meet an adult each morning, will be able to meet their adult at their designated entrance at 8:45 when it is a little quieter to support a smooth transition into school and a well-supported start to their day. Children attending Wraparound will not be impacted by the above changes; the children will be in their classrooms prior to the doors opening.
