10 / 12
Ideally, children should arrive at school no earlier than 8.40 a.m. For security reasons, gates will be locked until 8.30 a.m. A
teacher will be on duty from 8.40 a.m. School starts at 8.50 a.m. As soon as the morning bell goes, we expect all children
to line up. To help with a smooth start to the day we kindly ask that you leave your child at this point and do not follow
them into school — we want our children to become independent, and our corridors are already very narrow and congested.
Our lunch break will be from 12.10 until 1.00 (12.00 for the Foundation and Key Stage 1 children). We provide an excellent
cooked meal at lunchtime (please see the school website for more details).
School finishes at 3.20 p.m. and children can be collected from the exit nearest their classroom. For security reasons, the
external gates will not be open until 3.15 p.m.
School Times
Our out of school activities vary from year to year, according to the interests and specialist knowledge of the
staff. In recent times such clubs have included art, chess, dance, football, basketball, handball, guitars,
drama, Christian Union, gardening, and knitting! Throughout the year the children take part in a
variety of per formances, especially since we are lucky to have a fully equipped stage.
The school has an out of school care scheme on site called ‘The Cabin.’ This provides
affordable child care both before and after school and during the school holidays.
Clubs and Activities
To all of our new parents, a warm welcome, and we are sure
that your child will be very happy here. To all our prospective
parents, please feel free to come and look around the school,
talk to the children and staff, and see what we have to
offer. Choosing a school is an important decision. We
are proud of our school and all of the children, and
hope that you will join the All Hallows family.
A warm welcome awaits you
