The school day ends at 3.15pm for all classes and children in Years 1 to 6 are collected from the playground.

Homework
Every pupil receives homework on a regular basis, beginning with reading and sounds work in Reception Class. Details of the amount and type of work to be set for each year group will be provided by the class teacher at the beginning of the year, in the Year Ahead information.
Please support your child in the completion of these tasks by providing them with a quiet place in which to work. If you have any queries about homework tasks, please speak to the class teacher.
All children are expected to read, or be read to by a parent/carer, every day.
Meals
We are very proud of our school meal service, which is managed in house. This allows us to directly control meal content and portion sizes. Most of our dishes are prepared on site and we endeavour to use local produce suppliers. All payments for school meals should be made via Parentmail - please speak to the office if you don't have access to this.
School Meal Charges for 2023-24
Pupil Daily £2.40
Pupil Weekly £12.00
Universal Infant Free School Meals
Free school meals are available for all pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. This initiative has been developed with the purpose of aiding child development, supporting academic performance and improving levels of healthy eating. For more information please visit the School Food Plan website.
You will not need to submit an application because all pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will automatically be entitled to the free school meal. However, if you are on a low income, we highly recommend that you do still make a free school meals application as it will allow school l to unlock additional funding for your child/ren, which will go towards supporting their development.
Eligibility for Free School Meals
School Milk
School milk is available free for children under five and is subsidised thereafter, costing approximately £15 per term for over-fives.
The milk is not provided by the school but by "Cool Milk", a private company. If you would like your child to receive school milk, you should contact them directly by email or telephone:
