The school day starts at 8.40am and ends at 3.15pm.

Registers are taken at 8.45am and it is important that children arrive promptly as learning starts as soon as the school day does. Arrival after 8.50am will be recorded as late.

Older siblings should be dropped at the Annex first as a member of staff will be on the playground here from 8.35am to provide supervision.

Children should be dropped at their classroom doors and, should you need to speak to teachers, they will be available at the start and end of the day for brief messages or discussions. If you have a concern that requires a longer conversation, you may well be asked to make an appointment for another time.

Children should be collected from the main school first at the end of the day before collecting from the annex. If you wish children to walk home by themselves, or meet you at the main school, please inform the Y5 or 6 teachers via letter or partnership Book.

Bottles should ideally have a sports style cap. Children are provided with one on entry to school and new ones can be purchased from the school office. These should be named and taken home to be washed daily. They should also be filled at home before coming to school. They can be 
re-filled during the day at appropriate times using the filtered water machines. School cannot provide cups for forgotten bottles.

Snacks

Children in Reception and KS1 are eligible for a free piece of fruit daily. This is provided in school during fruit and milk time before break.

Children in KS2 should bring their own healthy snack should they want one. This should ideally be a piece of fresh fruit/vegetables.

Attendance

 Our intent as a school is focused on enabling our children to: 
o Have the skills needed to enjoy life and learning;
o Understand what helps them to learn best, knowing that learning is life-long; 
o See the value of continued hard work; 
o Thrive in the future regardless of change and challenges because they have the right skills and knowledge. 
In line with this, we are committed to ensuring all our children are confident learners, who can achieve their potential, but, for this to be achieved, they need to be present for all aspects of their education. Regular attendance is critical, affecting children's success at Lantern Lane but also far into the future. Whilst we accept that some absence may be unavoidable, we would urge you to work in partnership with us to kept lost learning time to an absolute minimum.

Information about attendance and absence can be found here.
