Our School Day

We open the school gates at 8.30am and registration is prompt at 8.40am

Our head teacher or a member of the Senior Leadership Team will greet you when then gates open at 8.30am. 

Parents/carers are encouraged to come to the wooden Reception gate where a member of the staff team will greet the children and welcome them into their room. 

Year 1 and year 2 children come into the classroom on their own to help them become independent and ready for their transition into the next year group and then into their junior school. 

ASSEMBLy

We have an assembly every day but each each one has different theme.

• Monday the children have a class based assembly where the children find out about what is going on in the world around them. 
• Tuesday is a JIGSAW assembly which links to our whole school focus.
• Wednesday is our singing assembly which is lead by Mr Williams who LOVES playing the piano. 
• Thursday is when class assemblies take place or sometimes themed assemblies.
• Friday and our whole school comes together for our Northway Star Celebration Assembly. 

Break time

Morning break time is from 9.55 - 10.10am. The children can drink their Cool Milk and can help themselves to a fresh piece of fruit or vegetable, which is part of the Government scheme. 

In the afternoon, children in Y1 and Y2 have 'Fit 5' which is an opportunity to take part in physical activity or exercise in the playground. 

Reception have access to their outdoor play area throughout the day to utilise our school's rich outdoor learning environment.

Lunchtime takes place from 12pm until 1pm and our team of Midday supervisors are in school to support our children.

School dinners are served by our lovely team of Caterlink Staff or your child may wish to bring a packed lunch.

Drop-off and PIck up

We encourage walking to school wherever possible. We have a number of bike racks if your child wishes to ride their scooter or bike to school instead. In order to keep our toddlers safe, please ask your children to stop riding their bike or scooter on the playground or you can pop it into the shed. If you need to travel by car, then please park wisely to ensure that the safety of our children and respect our nearby neighbours. 

The school day ends at 3.00pm

If normal arrangements regarding the collection of your child changes (i.e. a different person is picking up your child who you have not already detailed on your intake form), then please let us know. This will avoid any confusion or upset.
