School Day

The school day is 8.45am (morning registration time) to 3.15pm (official end of the compulsory school day) and the total time this amounts to in a week is 32.5 hours.  

Breakfast Club 7.30 - 8.30am 

Breakfast Club is held in the Main Hall at both Bedenham and Holbrook. Please click on the Breakfast Club tab under 'Parents/Carers' for more information.

Classroom doors open 8.30am 

Doors open early to allow children to be settled and prepared for the start of the school day at 8.45am. Children should not arrive before 8.30am unless they are attending Breakfast Club.

Late arrivals, after 8.45am, should report to the main school office. We monitor attendance closely and expect all children to attend school regularly and arrive punctually.

Morning break 10.30 to 10.45am

During this time, children may eat a healthy snack from home.

Lunch break 12.00 to 12.50 pm

All children have lunch break at the same time. Reception children go to the dining hall a little earlier at the start of the year to help them adapt to school routines and give them a little longer to eat.

School day finishes 3.15pm
