The school day begins at 9.00am and ends at 3.10pm.

A warning bell rings at 8.55am to encourage children to be in their class lines in the playground. A second bell rings at 9.00am signalling the start of the school day for pupils. A staggered entry operates to help ease the congestion in the car park and surrounding areas. The gates are opened at 8.45am for P1 – P3, 8.50am for P4/P5 and 8.55am for P6/7 pupils.  There is some adult supervision at each gate. 

Interval begins at 10.40am with a warning bell ringing at 10.35am and finishes at 10.55am.

Lunch is from 12.35pm to 1.30pm.

The procedure for informal entry during inclement weather is as follows:

Pupils may wait in the Mensa in the main school and the Porch area in the Junior Department on mornings when it is too wet to wait outside. Adult supervision from school staff is available from 8.50am. Parents are welcome to supervise their children prior to the stated times. No child should be left unattended in the school building. During wet intervals children will remain in their classrooms. At these times the children will be supervised by our support staff assisted by P7 monitors. In the interests of health and safety high standards of behaviour are required from all children. They are encouraged to sit with friends in their class whilst carrying out a quiet activity. Clearly it is better for children to have the opportunity to be outside for break, so it is important that children come to school prepared for the weather, e.g. jackets, boots, gloves, hats etc.

School finishes at 3.10pm with a warning bell being rung at 3.05pm in order that everyone can get packed up and ready for home and if necessary go for a school bus.

Please see the overview which gives detailed information showing: maps,gates for drop off, collection and lining up procedures. To ease congestion I would encourage as many families to walk, cycle or scoot to school where possible.  Please see our Park and Stride Maps to assist with this.
