School Day – Prep

Our school day is organised to provide maximum time for learning across a balanced curriculum.

Although the school day begins at 8:40am, pupils may arrive from 8:00am.

Below is an outline of our school day. At the start of the academic year pupils will receive a copy of their specific class timetable. Please note that timings differ slightly between KS1 and KS2.
