Class begins for the pupils at 9.00a.m. and children are to be in their classes at this time ready to start work. We would rather the children are not standing waiting around the school gates before 8.30a.m. so he/she can go to the breakfast club which starts at 8 O Clock. Pupils will be supervised from 8.30a.m. on the playgrounds. Parents of Primary 1 & 2 children may leave them in the classroom at 8:45a.m. when a teacher or assistant is on hand to supervise them. Pupils enter the classes around the back of the school for security and so that the front door does not become an easy access for anyone intent on malicious damage or hurt. On dry days P.3 to 7 children go to the playgrounds where teachers will be on duty but on wet days these children will line up in the hall. |
