Important Safety Notice

When you bring or collect your nursery child, please smile or wave to any other
children you may have in the playground. Please don’t do this over the wall, as some
of our smaller children have come to expect this and have prepared themselves by
balancing equipment on the benches then standing on top.

School Times
Just a reminder regarding school times
The children can come in to school from 8.45am. The gates will be closed at 8.55am if
children arrive after this time they will have to come to the front entrance so they
can be registered appropriately. If your child arrives after 9.00am they will be marked
late and persistent lateness can lead to involvement of the education welfare
services.
FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL OF OUR CHILDREN, IF THE BACK GATES ARE CLOSED PLEASE
DO NOT OPEN THEM, USE THE FRONT ENTRANCE. THANK YOU.
School finishes at 3.20pm.
If you are delayed for any reason at the end of school and you know you will be late
please let school know. This can save a lot of distress for your child.
The St Francis Fun Factory has spaces if you would like to use them. You don’t have to be working
to take advantage of the club you may just want a late night shop without the children or just time
for yourself.
Opening hours are:
7.30 a.m. – 8.45 a.m. and 3.20 p.m. – 6.00 p.m.
To book a place, please ring or text: 07903583718 or school.
New booking forms will be at the school office see
Mrs Bowker (Office manager), Mrs Howarth (Play Leader)
or Mrs Hughes (Play Worker).
