School Hours

Schools should be delivering a minimum 32.5 hour week. The 32.5 hour minimum expectation includes the time in each day from the official start of the school day (i.e. morning registration) to the official end to the compulsory school day (i.e. official home time).

The 32.5 hour minimum includes breaks and lunch times as well as teaching time and any extra-curricular activities that all pupils are expected to attend. It does not include optional before or after school provision. 

At present, we deliver a 32.5 hour week so there will be no changes to our current hours of 8.45am (gates open at 8.35am) - 3.15pm.

Protocol for the end of the school day should children not be collected:

At the end of the day, children should be collected promptly.  Our protocol for uncollected chidren is:

• All contact numbers will be called
• Should there be no response, children will be placed in Stay & play at a cost to the parents
• If by 4pm there is still no response, Social Care may be called and referral made to them.
