Class Times
We open the door at 8.40am and school starts at 8.55am. Home time is 3.15pm. (We open our door a little earlier, which enables us to speak to you if we need to).
P.E.
Our P.E. days are Monday and Thursday.
Children should come to school in their P.E. kits on these days. P.E. kit is a white t-shirt, navy blue or black shorts/joggers, navy blue or black jumper/hoodie and trainers. Long hair should be tied up and earrings must be removed or covered with tape.
The Early Years Foundation Stage
We believe that children's time at school should be a nurturing and enjoyable experience in which they are able to discover, explore and create in a secure and happy environment. Children learn through a mixture of planned and child-initiated play activities and experiences and build on the knowledge they bring from their homes and community. We take into account the children’s differing interests, needs and abilities.
The guide 'What to expect in the EYFS Foundation Stage: a guide for parents' explains in detail how children play and learn during their time in the Early Years. Please follow the link below to access the booklet.
What to expect in the Early Years Foundation Stage: a guide for parents
We subscribe to Tapestry, which is an online learning journal that parents and carers can access from home. Through this app, we are able to share your child's learning at school with you. You are able to add comments to your child's work and photos, as well as add information about what your child has been doing at home. The children love sharing their experiences with their friends and the grown-ups at school.

If you have any worries or questions, we are available to speak to you at the beginning or end of each day, or you can telephone school to make an appointment (01909 720251).
