Bell times

Our school day is structured around a clear timetable. We have set times for learning sessions, activities and lunch. Understanding the bell times helps students get the most out of each part of the day.

It's important for students to arrive on time each day. If your child is running late, please contact our front office.

Attendance is a major priority for our school. Everyday counts!

We ask for your support as this is a partnership. Students who arrive late should report to the front office. Office staff will issue a late note.
