The school day begins at 9.00 am and ends at 3.00pm. Lunch-time runs from 12.00pm to 1.00pm and there is a short break in the morning. The bell goes at 8.55am and 12.55pm in order to make sure that the children are working by 9. 00am and 1.00pm. Children are allowed in their classrooms from 8.40am in the juniors and 8.50am in the infants. We stress the need for children to arrive punctually.
All children begin work as soon as they arrive at school so that no time is wasted.
Children should arrive no earlier than 8.40am unless there is an early morning club, since there is no supervision before this time in the morning. If children are recorded as late or absent this information must be included in their school records. Excluding breaks and assemblies, there are 4 hours 30 minutes teaching time for infants and 4 hours 45 minutes for juniors each day. It is expected that all infant children will be collected from school. Hertfordshire County Council determines Holiday dates with one day's holiday decided by the Governors.
