The school gates are unlocked at 3:05 pm when parents can enter the playground. The school day ends at 3:15 pm for all children. All teaching staff bring their classes to external classroom doors or the playground (depending on the year group) and check who the children are going home with (unless older children have been given written parental permission to walk home on their own or with friends). If you are likely to arrive late in the afternoon to collect your child(ren), please let us know by contacting the main school office. If you wish for your child to be collected by another adult, please call the office in advance. For safety, we will not allow children to leave the school site without this permission in place. All children will be looked after near the main school office at the end of the school day if they have not been collected at the expected time.
