Timings of the School Day
Start and End of the School Day:
To ease congestion at the front gate, children have been allocated “staggered” start and end times. Senior staff will be on hand at all times to oversee the movement of people and see that expected social distancing is maintained at all times. The school day remains the same length of time. We have removed the 10-minute window of when to arrive at school and have allocated a specific start time when children are expected to be in lessons. These arrangements are expected to be in place until they are reviewed before the end of Autumn 1.

Break and Lunch times
Break and lunch times will be held at different times and at different locations to reduce large gatherings of children. Break times will remain at 15 minutes and lunch at 1 hour. Children must be escorted to break.
Packed lunches will eat in class in years 3, 4 and 5, to reduce congestion in the dining hall.
