About Reception

“Even the SMALLEST PERSON can change the course of the future.”

J.R.R. Tolkien

The School Day:

8:45am – 3.30pm

The gates to the playground will be open from 8.45am and close at 8.55am ready for the children to begin their learning.

At the end of the day, the gates will open just before 3.30pm.

Snacks at school:

Children in Reception Class, Class 1 and Class 2 are provided with a free piece of fruit every morning.

Children under 5 are also given a cup of fresh milk each day.

Often, the children like to have an afternoon snack, which they can bring in from home in a named container.

Please send in something from the following:

  • Plain cracker
  • Fresh fruit or vegetable
  • Breadsticks
  • Cheese
  • Plain rice cakes
