Our free Breakfast Club opens at 8:40am, with the last entry at 8:45am. Children enter school for breakfast club via their normal 'bubble' entrance (Y3/4 car park gate, Y5/6 main entrance).

Should we have concerns for your child we will contact the Police to request a 'Welfare Call' to your home.
Further information about attendance procedures, when your child is permitted to stay off school and help and support information can be found in the Attendance Policy below.
