School times

Arrival and collection

The gates are open from 8.45am. Doors in the Infant building will be opened at 8:45 am Parents may bring their Infant children into school, but may not leave them in the classroom unless the teacher is present.

Junior children must wait in the playground until the whistle is blown at 8.55.am

At the end of the day children in KS1 are collected from the external classroom doors. Reception children are collected from the classrooms using the internal doors.

In KS2 children are dismissed from the classroom and collected in the playground. Any child who is not collected should come back into the junior building, inform a member of staff and wait in the entrance hall.

Assemblies

Assemblies are held daily at 10.30 am with a whole school assembly at 9.15 am on Fridays. During our assemblies we reflect on moral and spiritual issues, we celebrate achievement and birthdays (KS1) and sing. Children may be withdrawn from assemblies with religious content. Parents should contact the Head Teacher if this is necessary.

Each class will perform an assembly or play at some time during the year to which parents are invited.

Lunch Times

The school provides school dinners or children may bring a packed lunch.

School meals are cooked on the premises. The cost of a school meal is £2.00 (£10.00 per week). We ask that all monies are paid in advance half termly on the first week of the half term. Cheques should be made payable to ‘London Borough of Enfield’.

If you would like your child to bring a packed lunch please make sure that it is packed in a named plastic container. Children may bring a drink in a leakproof container or carton. Please do not send sweets as part of a packed lunch.

One weeks notice is required for any changes to your child’s lunch arrangements.

Absence from School

If your child is unwell or cannot attend school please telephone the school office as soon as possible and explain the reason. The school has a duty to record all absences and notify the LEA. The Education Welfare Officer (EWO) regularly visits the school to discuss each child’s attendance and punctuality.

Illness/Well-being at School

If your child becomes ill during the school day we will contact you as soon as possible so that you can arrange for your child to be collected. In the event of an emergency we will take any necessary action for the well being of your child. We will contact parents as soon as possible. It is vital that you provide us with up-to-date home and work numbers and an emergency contact number and inform us of any changes immediately.

We have a school nurse who visits on a regular basis. All pupils have their hearing, eyesight and teeth checked at some point during their years at Primary School.
