The school day starts at a prompt 8.50am for all pupils.  We welcome the children (Years 1 to 6) onto the playground from 8.40am where they walk around the edge with the supervision of members of the senior leadership team, until they line up and go into school.  

For reasons of health and safety, we ask that children do not play on the playground equipment at the beginning and at the end of the day, whilst under parental supervision.  We are grateful to parents for the care they take in not disturbing the end of the school sessions. Dogs are not allowed on school premises.

For children travelling from Chippenham, the school bus leaves Chippenham bus stop at 8.40 am and returns after the school day, arriving at Chippenham bus stop at approximately 3.35 pm. Please speak to Jenny Drayton if you have any queries about the school bus.

 Protocol for the end of the school day should children not be collected:

At the end of the day, children should be collected promptly. Our protocol for uncollected children is in line with the Local Authority's:

All contact numbers will be called.  

Should there be no response, children will be placed in an after school club or with the Headteacher, and contact numbers retried.

If by 4.00pm there is still no response, Social Care will be called and a referral will be made to them.
