School Hours & Daily Timetable
Arrival at School
Preparatory School (Years 1 - 6)
Pupils may assemble outside the Preparatory School play area (inside the Newman Hall if it is
raining) from no earlier than 8.00am. From 8.00am - 8.25am supervision is provided by the
School. All pupils must be at School no later than 8.25am. Please note that should you wish to
drop off any medicines for your child the Medical Department opens at 8.00am.
We try to encourage the pupils’ independence and hope that, particularly in Year 1, after the initial
few days in a new class and environment parents will let their child line up outside and come to the
classroom alone.
Lateness
We are required to record lateness. An adult explanation, written or spoken, is needed for our
records. As well as being disruptive, lateness embarrasses and upsets many pupils. If pupils arrive
late or return from an appointment during the School day, they are required to go immediately to
their Class Teacher. We would also ask that if parents arrive late with their child they accompany
them into the Preparatory School and to their particular classroom and that they sign them in on the
Signing In/Out Register at Reception.
