St Jude's Church of England Primary School

The sluggard does not plow in the autumn, he will seek at harvest and have nothing. Proverbs 20:4

 

The gates open at 8:45 a.m. and close at 9.05 a.m. after which parents/carers or pupils are asked to sign in at reception. If your child arrives late they can miss out on some important learning; we focus on reading first thing - a critical skill that underpins all subjects. Coming in later can also make it harder for children to settle and can disrupt the learning of other students. Registration takes place at 9:05am.

At the end of the day the gates open at 3.15 p.m. and children are dismissed at 3.20 p.m. Children who have not been collected by 3.30 p.m. will be asked to wait at reception where adults will need to sign them out.

We appreciate there may be times when there are unavoidable delays and we ask that you let the school know via the text service.
