Welcome back to the new school year. Remember to bring your warm coats to school.

Our School Day

Children are able to arrive at school from 8.40am. They are welcome to wait on the playground but must be supervised by parents until 8.50am when the doors will be opened and children can come into school. Parents are welcome to wait on the playground until the children come into school.

There are also many children who travel to and from school on the Lilbourne minibus. When they arrive at school they go into breakfast club before going to their classrooms at 8.50am. At the end of the day, EYFS/KS1 children are collected from the classrooms and escorted onto the minibus. Children from KS2 are supervised in the design studio while they wait for the second bus.
