The School Day
Children at St Michael’s enjoy a calm start to the day with a soft start, while collection times are staggered to ease congestion. During the day, children will be enjoying a well-structured timetable.
To allow all pupils to safely enter and exit the school, we ask parents take a careful note of the times their children should arrive at school, and be collected. Arrival Nursery: line up in the top playground at 9:00am Reception : line up in the top playground at 8:50am Years 1 to 2: line up in the top playground at 8:50am Years 3 to 6: The school gates will be open from 8:40 – 9:00am. Please drop your child at the school gate and allow them to come into school independently. There will be plenty of members of staff present to help them to their classrooms. If your child arrives late after 9:00am a member of staff will take them to their classroom and they will be marked late in the register. There is normally an assembly every morning at 9:00am, either for the whole school or each Key Stage. 12.30 Collection and Drop-off If you are taking your child to or from an appointment during school hours, this will need to be during our designated 12.30 collection and drop-off time and you will need to inform the school office via email. Collection times 3:30pm – All years including nursery All children should be collected by 3:30pm. If you are unavoidably delayed please call the School Office. Morning All classes enjoy a morning playtime at 10:30am with a selection of equipment and games. Each week this is rotated, so that children get different experiences. Lunchtime Lunch times are staggered to allow children to eat in the hall in a calm and relaxed environment. Children get 15-20 minutes to eat their lunch and 45minutes of playtime outside. If the weather is inclement, playtime is taken in the classrooms.Playtime
