Daily Timetable

School Start Time

It helps children to settle and connect with their friends and teacher if they arrive at least 10 minutes before the 9am start time. 

We encourage children to come to school after 8.30am as their teachers will usually be fully occupied preparing for the day.

Classes should all be unlocked and accessible from 8.30am.
