Start and End of Day Routine
Each morning your child should enter through Infant Hall, the doors open at 8:45am.
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 at 8.15am (paid) or 8.30am (free) where toast, crumpets and juice are provided free of charge. This is open to all children.
After 8.55am, 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 2 ends at 3.00pm and the children leave via the doors on the left of the hall. Class doors are clearly labelled. Class 9 and 8 will exit via the double doors and Class 7 will exit from the glass door at the top of the ramp, to the left of the hall.

Homework Expectations
Reading
We expect your child to read daily at home. Please ensure your child’s book bag is in school every day, containing their reading books and their reading record. Every time they read, you should sign the reading record with the pages they have read. This allows the teachers to keep track of how much children are reading at home. Teachers will also record your child’s reading in school using the reading diary and communicate any relevant messages to you. We encourage children to be reading for at least 10 minutes each day to help develop their fluency and stamina. Please ask your child questions based on the text they have read to help develop their comprehension skills. Every child will have their book changed on a Friday. Reading is a fundamental skill which children need to learn at the beginning of their education therefore we need your child to be reading at home.
