Frequently Asked Questions

What time does my child start school and which entrance do they use? What time does school finish and where do I collect my child?

The details of their start and end times and points are listed in the table below. Please remember that school is open for all pupils from 8:30am, please note, the entrance gates will not be opened before this time. During this time children can access targeted interventions and use programs such as Nessy, TT Rockstars and Spelling Shed to support their learning.

Due to the location of our school, and the continual traffic issues, the end of the day will have to be managed carefully. Therefore, we respectfully ask all parents to depart the immediate area as soon as you have picked up your children. Furthermore, if it is possible to park away from school or use alternative means of getting here, that would also help the situation considerably.

There have been a few incidents of parents parking on the yellow zigzags between our ‘school safety parking signs’. This is highly dangerous and selfish behaviour that is putting our children’s safety at risk. Please don’t be offended when you are asked to move if you are parked on zigzags.
