"With God, all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
Our School Day
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God." 1 John 4:7
The compulsory school day runs from 8.55am to 3.25pm, totalling 32.5 hours each week.
Start of the day
The gates open at 8.35am for parents and pupils to come onto school grounds.
Children should not arrive before this time as no supervision is available.
The school bell will sound at 8.45am and children make their own way into their classrooms. All pupils should be in school by 8.55am for the start of the school day. Morning tasks ensure that children make a productive start to their learning from the very beginning of the day.
Morning worships takes place for all pupils during the morning session, and there is a morning break at around 10.30am. We encourage children to eat healthy snacks at morning break. This might be a piece of fruit, a snack of vegetables or toast is available at an additional cost.
We do not allow sweets and chocolate as a breaktime snack.
Lunch
All pupils have lunch between 11.45am and 1.00pm.
Children can purchase a hot school lunch (currently costing £2.35) which is ordered each morning in the classrooms and is provided by Metrofresh.
Alternatively, you may provide a packed lunch from home.
Lunch boxes should be small and clearly marked with the owners name. Fizzy drinks, glass bottles, breakable flasks and cans are not allowed. Due to the increasing number of children with severe allergies, nuts must not be brought into school.
Children entitled to a free school meal will be provided with a hot meal each day. If you feel that your child may be entitled to free school meals, please do not hesitate to ask for an application form from the school office. It really helps the schools funding if you register for free school meals even if you do not intend to take up the meal each day.
Further details about free school meals are available from Wigan Council by visiting: Free school meals, pupil premium, and EYPP (wigan.gov.uk)
End of the day
The school day ends at 3.25pm for KS2 (Years 3 to 6) and 3.30pm for EYFS and KS1 (Years R to 2), when children will be dismissed via the exits onto the main playground.
Parents are invited to wait on the playground to collect their children. For children up to Year 4, we ask that an adult is available to collect children every day. From Year 5, parents may choose to let their child walk home unaccompanied. Written permission will be required.
If you need to make changes to your child's collection arrangement, please contact the school office with plenty of notice, and before 3pm at the latest.
Absences and Medical Appointments
If your child is ill and will not be attending school, please inform the school office on 01942 746679 option 1 no later than 8.55am.
If your child will not be in school due to a medical appointment, please notify the school office as soon as you are aware of the appointment. Proof of the medical appointment will need to be provided.
