6. Start/end of the day procedures (Mrs Cassidy)
Juniors Start at 8.45am – children should arrive before this time
Line up in the playground and teachers will collect in the morning
Parents may wish to leave their children at the gate and the children will make their own way into school – particularly with years 4, 5 and 6
Year 5 and 6 pupils may walk to and from home unaccompanied – although not when it is dark
Dropping children off in the playground does give parents/carers the opportunity to give messages or talk briefly with the teacher. If a longer discussion is required this should, ideally be organised for after school as the whole class could be held up and this will affect pupil learning time
End at 3.10pm
Year 5 and 6 pupils will make their own way to the very bottom playground but will be accompanied by teachers
If parents/carers are later than 3.15pm children will be escorted back into school

7. Late Pupils
Late pupils in year 4, 5 and 6 will register at the late desk at the entrance of the building closest to the year 5 and 6 classrooms
Lateness can lead to fining if no reasonable excuse is offered
