Our school day / school week will need to be compliant with the minimum of 32.5 hours a week. In order to ensure we are compliant, the new school times from September 2023 will be:- **Nursery** Morning session:- 8:45am-11:45am Afternoon session:- 12:15pm-3:15pm **Reception and KS1** Start:- 8.45am Finish:- 3.15pm **KS2** Start:- 8.40am Finish:- 3.10pm **The High Needs Base (Class 10) will remain at its current timings.** We will expect children to be prompt into school and classroom doors will close 5 mins after opening for the registers to be taken. The slight differences in Rec/KS1 and KS2 will allow parents/carers to walk round and collect where needed. We will also work hard to ensure pupils are out on time.
