Our School Office staff, Mrs Cassidy and Mrs Vine, are here to help you, however here are a few items that may be useful to parents and carers which you can view or download from our website.
Our School Day
Here is a breakdown of our school day:
| Start of School | Lunchtime Start | Lunchtime Finish | End of School | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reception | 08:55 | 11:45 | 12:45 | 15:15 |
| KS1 (Y1 & 2) | 08:55 | 12:15 | 13:00 | 15:30 |

We also run a Breakfast Club from Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 8.45am. This is open to children throughout the school and costs £12.50 per week (£2.50 per day) payable on a Monday morning.
We also run an After School Club which runs from 3.30pm – 4.45pm, Monday to Thursday and costs £3.50 per session.
School Dinners
We encourage children to have a school meal at lunchtime. A hot, freshly cooked 2 course nutritionally balanced meal is available free of charge to children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 and to KS2 children, at a cost of £10.25 per week.
This can be paid on Parentpay, or sent to school by cash or cheque payable to D.C.C (Durham County Council) in a sealed envelope with the name of your child and ‘dinner money’ written on it. Please note that dinner money must be paid in advance, at the start of each week. Weekly menus are available on the school website and we have a pre-order system so that children can choose in advance what they would like to eat on each day.
If your child has a special dietary requirement, (supported by a medical practitioner) then this can be provided.
Children may alternatively bring a packed lunch, We ask that parents provide a healthy lunch and do not send in sweets, fizzy drinks or any items containing nuts.
If your child wishes to change from school dinners to pack lunches or vice versa, we require one weeks notice in writing.
Absence
We aim to maintain attendance at 96% or above and parents will be informed by letter if their child’s attendance falls below this threshold. The school understands that there are times when children will be absent from school due to illness and medical appointments. If is necessary for children to be absent, please inform the school by telephone or note. (If you are ringing, please use the school telephone number 01207 503982 and do not use the Primary Contact texting service number.) If we do not receive a reason for absence, you will contacted by the school.
