Settling in: The School Day There is a Parent and Carer handbook with key information about the school day. The children in Key Stage 1 and Reception classes enter and leave the school through their classroom doors. The children in Key Stage 2 go through the corridors and up a staircase to the classrooms. The staircases are carefully designed to promote learning when moving in and around the school. Lower Key Stage 2: Years 3 and 4 have a history timeline, linked to the expectations for the National Curriculum Upper Key Stage 2: Years 5 and 6 have a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) timeline which features inventions through history.

Wraparound Care Our Breakfast Club, from 7.30am until start of the school day, is run by members of the school staff. After-school provision until 6.00pm is currently operated by an external provider. The children collect eggs from our hens for their breakfast and are able to have support for reading and home learning as part of the care offer.

Looking Smart We are proud to be part of the Drapers’ Trust and share the same high standards for appearance. Our uniform of grey and blue is smart, practical and gives the children a sense of belonging within our school family. The choice to have the same uniform for boys and girls, with slight variation for shorts, is part of our commitment to equal opportunities for all.
