In each class, the children will start the day with a ‘start of the day’ activity which the class teacher will have prepared. Each class has timetable displayed with the days lessons and activities.
If parents wish to speak to the class teacher, this can be arranged after school or in urgent cases teachers can meet with parents before school but this is by prior arrangement.
All of the children go out to play at break time together and lunch time. It is always a joy to watch the children from across all ages play with each other. The children have a range of activities to choose from including playing on the trim-trail, playing on the wooden play equipment, playing with the equipment stored in the play shed or joining in with one of the lunch time clubs led by the older children or an external coach.
At the end of the school day, the class teachers lead the class out of the school and hand the children over to their parents. Parents must inform the school if they wish for their child to go home with a friend or alternative family member.
There are a range of after school clubs that children are able to choose to join. These clubs are arranged on a half-termly / termly basis and very often lead-up to a competition within the pyramid.
