End of Term Closure Notice

At the end of each term, we would like to remind families that the school will close at 1:30pm on the final day of term. Dates of early closure this year are:

• Friday 27th March
• Friday 17th July 
• Friday 18th December

This early finish allows staff time to complete important end‑of‑term tasks and prepare for the start of the new term.

The Hive facility will be available, and the minibus will run at alternative timings which is communicated separately to parents of children using the Service. Parents and carers are encouraged to collect children promptly at 1:30pm.

Please note that due to staff training, reception will not be available as a waiting area, so The Hive will be the only facility open after 1:30pm.

Inset Days

• Friday 12th March

Early Finish

• Spring Term ends Thursday 25th March 2027 at 1.30pm
• Summer Terms ends Friday 23rd July 2027 at 1.30pm

Children can come into school and go straight to their classroom between 08.30am (when the gates open) and 08.45am. The school day will begin with registration at 8.50am.  

The gates open for parents of KS1 children (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) just before 3pm. Parents are asked to wait in the playgrounds. The children will be brought out by their teacher to the playgrounds to meet you. In the interests of safety please do not walk through the car park with children.

KS2 children finish school at 3.20pm and should be collected from the playground exit point for their year.  Older children can only leave the school grounds to meet their parent off site if the parent has completed the form giving permission for this arrangement and/or the class teacher has been informed.

Should a parent realise that they are going to be late collecting their child, they should telephone the school office on 01252 716307 immediately. Parents are asked to join forces with a friend so that in the event of their non-arrival, their children have somebody to whom they can immediately turn.
