Changes to school start times

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO HASELWORTH PRIMARY SCHOOL
PLEASE READ

Dear Parents/Carers,
You may have heard previously that the government have made a proposal to extend the length of the school day. This change will come into effect from September 2024. We can now confirm that Haselworth Primary School will operate as follows from 4th September 2024:

• School gates will open at 8:25am and close promptly at 8.35am, there will be a rolling registration.
• Any children entering the school between 8:35am and 9.05am will be marked as late. Children who are late will enter, as they do now, through the school office entrance where they must be signed in by a parent/carer.
• Arrivals after 9.05am will receive an unauthorised late mark (U).
• The finish time will remain at 3:00pm. We ask all parents to be as prompt as possible for a 3:00pm collection.

The change has been actioned to ensure we have sufficient time to cover all national curriculum subjects. The changes will be beneficial to the school community, and will have a positive effect on your child’s education, allowing for more learning time within the school day.

This term we have trialed a new lunchtime plan to ensure that children get the most out of their lunchtime to socialise and have more space to burn off some energy. The new plan will continue in September and is as follows: Cygnets and Peacocks - 11.45am to 12.30pm Years 3 to 6 - 12.30pm -1.15pm.

 

KS1 will have an additional afternoon break.
