School Day

The School Day

The schools’ daily timetable is as follows:

*We understand how it can be difficult at times to collect your child on time - if you are running late, just give us a ring at the office and we will of course hold on to your child/ren.  If you are finding it difficult on a regular basis, please enquire about our on-site After School Club.

 Getting to School

We encourage all children to walk or cycle to school but if the children are brought to school by car, please drive carefully and considerately and have respect for our neighbours.  Please do not park in front of private driveways. Parents are responsible for their children until school starts and at the end of the school day. Both playgrounds are supervised by senior staff from 8.30am.

We have a dedicated cycle rack to the right of the main school gates where scooters may also be left.  Please do not let pupils cycle or scooter around the school site.

 Registration

Registration is at 8.50am. Children who arrive after the register is closed will be marked late and recorded as an unauthorised absence.

 Lunchtime

Children can either have school meals – freshly cooked in school or packed lunches.

Find out more about our school meals, including the menu, on our website or at the school office.

 Snacks and Drinks

Children are encouraged to bring a healthy snack for morning break. Foundation Stage and Year 1 and 2 children will receive a free piece or fruit every morning under the Government Healthy Eating Initiative.

 All children are asked to bring a bottle of water daily, clearly marked with their name, and will be encouraged to drink regularly throughout the day.

 Out of Hours Clubs

Go Beanies in partnership with WFS, run a daily Breakfast Club between 7.45 to 8.50am and an After School Club between 3:20pm to 6:00pm (see separate page for more details). These clubs are for 5-11 year olds.  We run our own Breakfast Club specifically for our Nursery children, (see separate page for details).

 We also run a number of extra-curriculum clubs. For further information about our school clubs please contact the school office.

School Closure

Very occasionally, due to extreme weather conditions (such as heavy snow) or failure of key services (such as heating, water or electricity), it may be necessary to close the school. In these circumstances, we aim to inform parents as quickly as possibly by Parentmail and text message and by posting information on our website. Announcements will also be made on local radio stations such as BBC Radio Berkshire and Heart FM102.9.
