The School Day & Compulsory Hours
The School Day & Timetable
Daily Schedule & Routines
Ensuring children arrive promptly creates a calm, structured start to learning. Our classroom doors open at 8:40 am, with registration starting promptly across all classes at 8:50am.
We have a staggered end to each day as follows:
Reception: 3.10pm
KS1: 3.15pm
KS2: 3.20pm
Statutory Compulsory Hours
In accordance with Department for Education statutory requirements:
-
The school day runs from 8:50 am to 3:20 pm Monday through Friday (6.5 hours daily).
-
This equals 32.5 hours per week (including breaks but not after-school activities), meeting the government’s minimum expectations for mainstream state-funded primary schools.
Wraparound care (Breakfast Club from 7:45 am and After-School Care until 5:55 pm) is available on-site through our dedicated wraparound provision, Shine.
For planning purposes, please see below the timings for a typical school day for each of the years. There may, of course, be days when these times vary slightly due to in-school activities.
