The School Day 

• At playtime and lunchtime children from Y1 - Y6 can choose whether to play in the main playground, pocket park or on the pitch. There is a variety of play equipment for the children to use during play times. 
• An act of Collective Worship or assembly takes place every day, either in the school hall or at Holy Trinity Church. 
• At the end of the school day, the school gates are opened at 3.30 pm. Children in Y2 - Y6 are picked up from the main school playground. Reception and Year 1 children are picked up from the Somerset Road entrance and Nursery from their own entrance. Those picking up children collect them from the class teacher in the playground.
• If you cannot pick up your child, we ask you to ensure that we know the person who will be collecting them. If we have not been informed of the person collecting, we will keep the child with us until we are absolutely sure of the arrangements.
