Collective worship
On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, collective worship is led by Mrs. Burton or a class teacher, a member of the clergy or Open the Book. On Thursdays, we worship through song. On Fridays, we celebrate everyone’s achievements and our children are rewarded for their hard work with certificates and points for their house.

Break when the children play in the playground (weather permitting) or in the classroom.

Classroom activities continue until 11.50am when we prepare for lunch.
12.00pm
Lunch until 12.30pm, with 25 minutes afterwards to play after eating.
12.55pm
Afternoon session. We often use part of this session for music, drama, P.E. or dance. As we often take advantage of good weather for outdoor P.E. sessions, it is important that P.E. clothes are at school Monday to Friday, and warm jogging bottoms are needed in the winter.

Our popular After School Club runs every day until 5pm.
In addition, we have Lizzie’s choir on Tuesdays and Nature Club on Fridays.
