General information about the day:
In a normal week there will be approximately 24 hours of taught time, and 1 hour 50 minutes spent on registration, assemblies and the daily act of worship.
It is essential that children are punctual in their arrival at school and regular in their attendance. Children arriving at school after the register has been taken, will need to be brought to the School Office first to register.
Wherever possible, we strongly advise that children walk to school with their parents. There is a dropping off point at the front of our school, but it gets extremely congested before the beginning of school and at the end of the school day.
There are cycle storage facilities at school. The LA Safety Officer advises that no child under 9 should cycle to school unaccompanied.
We would therefore recommend as follows:
Although cycle stands are provided, we can accept no responsibility for the security of bicycles left there. We also insist, for reasons of safety, that any child cycling to school must wear a cycle helmet; children who fail to do so will receive a warning followed by a ban from coming to school on a bicycle for one week if they persistently neglect to wear a helmet. If the problem persists they will be stopped from cycling to school altogether. Again, in the interests of safety, we will not allow bicycles to be ridden on the school site.
For Health and Safety reasons no dogs or other animals should be brought onto the school premises or site. The school operates a no smoking policy throughout its grounds. We ask that this should also be respected at the school gate at pick up and collection times.

We would therefore recommend as follows:
- Children in years 5 and 6 may cycle to school independently
- Children in year 4 may cycle with an older sibling
- Children in year 3 and below may cycle to school only if accompanied by an adult.
