Term Dates and Times of our School Day.

 

Our school gates open at 8:30 am, and we kindly ask that all children are in class by 8:45 am to start their day on time.

 

Our school day finishes at:

3:15 pm for Early Years and Key Stage 1 children

3:30 pm for Key Stage 2 children

To help ease car park congestion and make pick-up smoother for everyone, if you have children in both Key Stages, we’d really appreciate it if you could collect all your children at 3:30 pm.

 

Where to Collect Your Children:

For EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage - Nursery and Reception), please walk down the hill to the lower playground and collect your child from Meldon classroom doors.

For children in Key Stage 1 (Year 1 Avon and Year 2 Venford), please walk all the way down the hill to Venford classroom.

For children in Roadford (Year 3), Fernworthy (Year 4 & 5), and Burrator (Year 5 & 6), pick-up will be from the lower playground opposite the main office.

We do discourage parents/carers from collecting their KS1 children at 3:15 if they have Key Stage 2 children, as this contributes to our car park being congested which is why we have the two different pick up times.   

Thank you so much for your support in helping our school day run safely and efficiently!

 
Many thanks. Mrs Sophie Kerswell - Headteacher
