Typical School Day Schedule

In the mornings, we focus on developing the children's prime learning skills such as literacy, numeracy and communication skills. In the afternoons we focus on specific areas of learning such as the creative arts, PSED and knowledge and understanding of the world.

Throughout the day the children have opportunities to learn in both the outdoor provision and inside the classroom and have opportunities to work, learn and play as part of small groups, in pairs and 1:1 with an adult.

Children’s skill development and characteristics of effective learning are observed and significant or new moments of learning are recorded. Parents are encouraged to be involved in this process by recording key learning moments that happen at home. We collate this information in the children's learning journals to build a holistic view of each child and the progress that they are making.

Transport and Pick-Up Arrangements

  • Many of our students travel to school via local authority transport services.
  • Parents collecting children should arrive by 3:00 PM.
  • Please inform the school office of any changes to collection arrangements.

A Positive End to the Day

We understand that transitions can be challenging, so we ensure a calm and supportive end to each school day. Pupils are given time to reflect, regulate, and prepare for home, ensuring they leave school feeling happy and secure.
