Our School Day

Our classroom doors open at 8.43am for children to go into class to begin Early Morning Work.

School begins at 8.45am and finishes at 3.15pm. We are committed to developing punctuality as an essential life skill. If children arrive after 9.20am they will be marked in the register as unauthorised absence.

Holidays During Term Time

Schools are unable to authorise any holidays taken during term time. If there are ‘exceptional circumstances’ the Governors and Headteacher will agree the number of days leave but a meeting must take place and it must be ‘exceptional circumstances’. Term time holidays will be unauthorised and may include penalty notices of £80 per parent, per child payable within 21 days, rising to £160 per parent, per child if paid between 22 and 28 days.   Failure to pay will result in a prosecution.  If a second penalty notice is issued within a 3-month rolling period, the penalty is £160 per parent, per child if paid within 28 days.  There will be no option to pay a lower amount.
