From 17 April 2012:
Following consultation with parents, from 17th April 2012, younger pupils will finish school at 3:15pm while KS2 pupils finish at 3:20pm
Arriving at school
Gates open at 8:30am and there is a teacher on duty in the playground from 8.40am until 8.50am.
If the weather is wet or extremely cold, children will be allowed to enter the building at 8.40am where they can undertake quiet activities.
If you drive your child to school, there is limited parking space outside the school. Please do not use the school carpark or park on the Zigzag lines outside the school as this makes it very dangerous for other children and parents arriving or leaving the school.
Please note, as of 5 December 2011 parents will no longer be allowed to use the Vacu-Lug car park.
Children must enter the school premises at the entrance gate at the side of the school and not the double main gate entrance for obvious safety reasons.
End of the school day
At the end of the day, pupils from Years 1 to 6 will be dismissed from the main playground. They will be taken there as a class and parents need to collect their child from the class teacher.
This will help staff ensure that pupils are safely passed over to their parents or, in the case of older pupils, walk safely from the premises. It will also provide parents with an opportunity to speak to their child's class teacher if they need to. Reception classes will continue to be dismissed from the side exit near the canopy.
Collective Worship
This is an integral part of our school. An act of worship takes place each day, and is led by the Headteacher, Deputy Head, members of staff or visitors to the school. Our Parish Church is St Sebastian’s in Great Gonerby, and we also have close connections with St Wulfram’s in Grantham. We visit both churches regularly and the clergy conduct acts of worship both in church and in school.
Parents may exercise their right to withdraw their children from all or part of the Religious Education and Collective Worship provided. Children who are withdrawn will be supervised and appropriate activities given.
