It is very important that your child arrives at school on time. This ensures a smooth, happy and prompt start to the day. Children who arrive late are put at a disadvantage and can disturb the learning of those who do arrive on time.
Please drop off and collect your child at the designated time and location.
If you wish someone else to collect your child from school, please ensure that the teacher is informed via the school office in advance.
