Start and End of Day Routine

Each morning your child should enter through the Infant hall, doors open at 8:35am.

Although teachers are happy to talk with parents briefly at this time, we ask that if you have a more detailed matter to discuss you arrange a mutually convenient time after school.

Children are also welcome to attend Breakfast Club where toast, crumpets and juice are provided free of charge. This is open to all children.

After 8.45am, your child will be classed as late as this is when the registers close. Please ensure your child is on time each day as in the mornings we spend time learning our phonics.

The school day for Year 1 ends at 3:15pm and the children leave via their class door. Class 5 leave by the bottom door next to the children’s centre. Class 4 and Class 6 exit via the double doors on the right of the hall.

Homework Expectations

Your child will receive homework every Friday which will be due back the following Friday. This will include;

- Phonics

- Maths

- Reading

Reading at home is very important in Year One. It is vital that you read at home with your child to help them consolidate their sounds they have learnt in class, develop their fluency and support their comprehension. Remember to record any time spent reading in their reading record so they can earn their ‘Days read at home’ award!
