School Opening Times
Primary school pupils will arrive at 8:45am by taxi and will be greeted by staff at the front of the school. They will then be walked to their classrooms, where they can choose to have some toast, cereal, bagels, porridge, or fruit and prepare for learning. At the end of the day (2:15pm) the pupils will be walked up to the entrance of the school to meet their taxis.
When your child arrives at the high school, they should enter by the dining hall entrance where they will be met by staff from 8:15am (dependent upon taxi arrival time). There are various classrooms open and staff on duty where your child can get a hot drink and toast, cereal, bagels, porridge, cereal or fruit. Lessons start at 9:00am.
