Term Dates and Times of the School Day
Attendance
Good attendance is essential to every child's learning, wellbeing and success in school. We ask all parents and carers to ensure that their child attends school every day and arrives on time.
Please note that holidays during term time are not authorised except in exceptional circumstances. Any holiday taken during term time without prior authorisation will be recorded as an unauthorised absence.

Weekly School Hours
The staggered start and finish times for the Infant and Junior Departments are designed to allow parents and carers with children in both departments sufficient time to move between sites for drop-off and collection.
All pupils attend school for 32.5 hours each week, meeting the Department for Education's expectation for the length of the school week.
