The 20 minute reception time is a very important part of the Children’s day.
This is their chance to socialize with their friends and settle into the classroom ready for their working day. Please make every effort to bring your child/children to school on time.
*The children have also 10 minutes outside-play time in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon, either prior to or immediately after lunch.
