Class Organisation
We have an intake of 60 children into Reception each year, from September 2021. In Key Stage 1 we have 60 children in each year group and have classes of 30. In Key Stage 2 we have 45 children in each year group and have 3 classes of 30.

Home time. If children are not picked up they wait inside school while a member of staff attempts to contact a parent or carer. Reception children are collected from the EYFS gate. All children in KS1 are collected from their classroom doors on the yard or courtyard. Children in Deer and Squirrel class will exit at the East stairs and Skylark class will leave via the West stairs. If children are being picked up by an adult other than their usual carer, parents should inform school. |
