The School Day

 

Every lesson counts. Every interaction matters. Every day is vital.

Dunnington CE Primary Attendance and Puctuality Policy

We will continue with slightly staggered starts to allow those parents, with children in different key stages, to drop off and pick up in each playground, where applicable. For 2023-2024:

  • School starts at 8:55am and finishes at 3:25pm for the children in EYFS and KS1.
  • For the children in KS2, registration is at 8:45 and the school day finishes at 3:15pm.
  • In both cases there are 32.5 compulsory school hours in a typical week.

Please be on time – but better late than never.

Try not to have the children waiting in the playground too early, especially in cold or wet weather; five minutes before school begins is early enough. KS2 children should not arrive before 8:40am.

Our full policy for Attendance and Punctuality can be found on our Policies Page.

The school hours are as follows:

EYFS & KS1 SCHOOL HOURS
