School Day

SCHOOL TIMES

Morning Session Classes F – 2 : 8.55am – 12 noon
Classes 3 – 6 : 8.55am – 12.15pm
Afternoon Session All classes : 1.10pm – 3.15pm

We ask that pupils should not arrive at school before 8.45am or, if they have been home for lunch, that they should not return before 1.00pm unless involved in a supervised activity. This is so that we do not have pupils at school for whom we cannot guarantee proper supervision. Children should be on the playground at 8.55am to come in when the whistle goes.

TRAVEL PLAN

The school has succeeded in achieving the Level 3 Travel Plan award. This commits us to keep increasing the number of children who walk to school. We believe that exercise and fresh air can benefit better learning. We support the Walk to School initiative and also encourage pupils to bike when this is deemed appropriate by their parents. Many of our pupils come from outside the village and therefore have to travel by car. However there is still opportunity for some walking to take place.

PARKING

The school has been built fronting a residential street in order to avoid children spilling out straight on to a main road. However this brings with it issues of congestion. On advice from Police and Parish Council and in consultation with residents, a voluntary one way system operates during peak drop off and pick up times. We also have permission from Longueville Hall and the Free Church for parents to use their car parks at these peak times. There are also parking spaces available opposite the Crooked Billet and Pollards the butcher. Making use of these also enables the children to walk part of the way to school. Finally please ensure that you do not park on pavements, across driveways or in places which endanger safety.
