A very warm welcome to The Bemrose Primary Phase
The School Day
There is an open door policy for all children and parents, allowing children to be dropped off in their classrooms in the morning at 8.40am. Between 8.40am-8.50am children are set a morning challenge linked to the curriculum to engage, excite and get them ready for their learning that day. Parents are welcome to stay in the classrooms during this time to settle and support their child as they start their school day.
At the end of the school day the doors to the classrooms are opened at 3.15pm by the class teacher allowing parents to collect their child/ren. Between 3.15pm and 3.25pm, parents are welcome to speak to the class teacher and/or visit the classroom to explore with their child the work they have been doing during that day.
