Our School Day

School Hours

We operate a ‘Soft Start’ to the school day which means our classrooms are open from 8:40am each day.
We formally begin school promptly at 8.55am and would ask you to make sure your child is on time as the start of the day sets the scene for the children and they will miss important learning if they are late. 

We ask all parents to accompany their child to the school gates. Due to our location in the heart of Walthamstow and with Verulam Avenue operating as a School Street, we recognise that parking is a challenge and ask that parents, where possible, walk, scoot and cycle to school or use public transport.

If your child is late for school, please report to the School Office so that he/she can be marked present. Children arriving after their drop off time of 8.55am will be marked as late.

At the end of the school day, please ensure you are waiting for your child at their collection time as children can become distressed when not collected on time.

School ends at 3:20pm for Reception and 3:30pm for Years 1 to 6

Our school week is a total of 32.5 hours.

Extended Hours

Breakfast Club starts at 8.00am and the children are taken to their class for their registration time.

Tea Time Club starts from the children’s end of the day time and finishes promptly at 6:00pm.
