School Day

Archbishop Runcie First school delivers a school week of 32.5 hours
 
Morning Routines
As you know, we operate a drop off window in the mornings. The aim of this is to enable children to enter school calmly and to offer parents the opportunity to speak to staff members on the doors if the need arises. It also means that Christon Road is slightly less congested and eases parking around school.
 
All children are able to enter school from 8:35-8:45am. The register will be taken at 8:45am so any children arriving after this time should enter via the main school office and be signed in on the Inventory screen please. You will need to provide a reason for the late arrival. Please note that children who are late miss vital teaching (reading and phonics) and therefore we would really encourage you to drop children off promptly. 

Nursery and Reception children should enter via their classroom doors and all other children should enter via the cloakroom doors from the main yard please.
 
Afternoon Routines
Teaching finishes at 3:15pm. All children should be collected from classroom doors between 3:15 and 3:20pm.
If parents/carers have not collected children by 3:20pm, children will be taken to After School Club (and parents/carers will be charged accordingly) so that staff can attend meetings and complete other duties.
