The School Day

The Prep School day runs from 8.35am-3.40pm, or until 3.30pm for Pre-Prep. The daytime schedule comprises eight lesson periods and includes break-time at 10.30am, lunch at 12.10pm and a travel break at 2.20pm. In order to accommodate the complex nature of modern working and parenting, extended day provision is available before and after standard school hours.

Morning
Children can be dropped off at school from 8.15am and will be supervised by a teacher in the Atkinson Hall and able to play games and activities before registering in their classrooms at 8.35am.

Breakfast Club is also available from 7.30am-8.15am at a cost of £7 per child. Children should be dropped off at the Prep School car park where they will be met by a member of staff at 7.30am.

Afternoon
Our after-school provision means children are able to stay on until 4.45pm at no extra charge. Our comprehensive programme of after-school activities and clubs means children are kept fully occupied. On days when they don’t have an activity to attend, older children can sign-in to complete their prep, while Pre-Prep pupils are able to play and enjoy story-time. Children must sign-out at 4.45pm, having supplied their class teacher earlier in the day with their pick-up or travel home arrangements.

The day can be extended further should families need to collect children later through our After School Club. This is available from 5pm-6pm at a cost of £7 per child. Children will meet you in the Prep School car park at 6pm by the member of staff on duty to go home.

Flexi or occasional boarding is also available to families who need their child to stay overnight at school.
