School timings 

7:45am - 8:40am - Brown's Explorers Breakfast Club - Enter via the Main Entrance.

8:40am - School gates open.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES - Children will enter the main gates and walk to their classroom doors. Children in Reception can be accompanied by their adult to the classroom for the first week of school.

Why have we made this change? This allows a brisk start to the day and will maximise learning time, allowing children to settle into school quickly and ensure that staff are available for face to face teaching straight away each morning.

8:50am - School gates close - any pupils arriving at school after 8:50am will need to be accompanied to the school office and signed in.

3:10pm - School gates open for parents to gather on the playground.

3:15pm - End of School day - Children will leave via their class entrances/exits to meet their parents on the playground.

3.15pm - 5:30pm Brown's Explorers After School Club - Children to be collected and signed out from the hall via the Main Entrance (Please Note: Explorers closes at 5.00pm on a Friday).

Uniform 

Our School Uniform

Wearing a school uniform gives our school an identity and looks smart. We are looking forward to the children returning to school in September looking smart! Please remember we do not allow children to wear jewelry - chains or bracelets of any kind. Earings should be small studs only and must be removed on PE days.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES - We will be requiring children to wear school uniform every day of the week. Days of the week when PE kits will be required will be shared with you when we return in September. Mrs Maddick and Mr Trafford place great emphasis on a smart school uniform and look forward to seeing all the children following the simple uniform guidance below.
