Before & After School
Members of staff are on duty 15 minutes before and after each school session. We operate a ‘soft start’ to the day whereby pupils are encouraged to arrive at school from 8.30am onwards with the aim of being ready for the formal start of the day at 8.45am. Please note that pupils should not arrive at school before 8:30am unless they are attending Breakfast Club as detailed below. The school cannot accept responsibility for pupils arriving before 8.30 am or remaining on the premises after 3.15pm unless taking part in a supervised activity. If pupils are found in the playground unsupervised before 8.25am they will be taken into Breakfast Club and parents will be charged for the session. All pupils must be in school by 8:45am or they will be recorded as ‘late’.
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club operates each morning from 7:30 am – 8:30 am and is available for children Reception through to Year 6. Pupils should be brought to the Breakfast Club entrance (currently the hall), where they will sign in and be supervised by a member of staff. Food is not currently provided at Breakfast Club. Pupils take part in a range of supervised in activities before school. Current charges are as follows (these charges are reviewed on a regular basis):
- £2.50 per day (payable in advance for the half term or term);
NB: There are limited places available at Breakfast Club. All enquiries should be made in the first instance to the school office.
Mini-Me’s also offer a wraparound care facility at Communicare before and after school which parents may wish to explore. They drop children to and from school by minibus.
Breaks
Years 1 - 3 usually have a break between 10:00 am– 10:15 am. Years 4 – 6 usually have a break between 10.30 am -10.45 a.m. Foundation Stage pupils choose when to have their own snack and have access to a supervised play area outside. In line with our healthy eating policy Years 1-6 are only allowed fruit and vegetables and water for snack. Juice and other food items are only for lunchtimes.
Lunchtime Supervision
Behaviour at lunchtime is monitored closely and the school expects, and indeed enjoys, high standards of behaviour. The Headteacher reserves the right to exclude pupils during the lunch period if their behaviour poses a threat to the health and safety of others or they fail to maintain the expected standards. In such a case, parents will be asked to make alternative arrangements for the lunch period.
