Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope this message finds you well.

Following updated expectations from the Department for Education regarding the length of the school day, we are making a small adjustment to our morning arrangements to ensure we remain fully compliant.

From Tuesday 2nd June 2026, the school gates will open at 8:30am and will close promptly at 8:40am. All pupils should be in school and ready for lessons to begin by this time.

The end of the school day will remain unchanged:

EYFS & Key Stage 1 (Years 1 & 2) will finish at 3:10pm
Key Stage 2 (Years 3, 4, 5 & 6) will finish at 3:15pm

This slight adjustment to the start of the day allows us to meet the required number of school hours while minimising disruption to families and maintaining our current afternoon routines.

We kindly ask for your support in ensuring that children arrive within the new time window so that lessons can begin promptly and without interruption.

We understand that any change to routines can take a little time to adjust to. For the first two weeks after implementation, we will take a supportive and understanding approach as families adapt to the new timings. During this period, we will work closely with you to help ensure all pupils arrive on time, after which our usual attendance procedures will apply.

If you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Yours sincerely

Mr R Wiggett
