The school day starts at 08:00 when breakfast club opens its doors, and runs through to 18:00 when Cambridge Kids Club finally close theirs! 

Below is a run down of the timings of the school day. 

08:00: Breakfast Club opens for early drop offs

08:50: The gates and classrooms open. Registration begins. During this period, children enter the room, put away their lunchboxes, water bottles and coats, submit their reading logs and find their seats. The teachers will have set a morning activity for the children to do - usually a morning maths activity or a spelling activity. These activities are normally able to be completed independently. Class teachers will be present in the classrooms. TAs join the classes at 09:00.

09:00: The gates close. Registration closes with the teacher formally completing the register document. Children arriving after this time need to enter the school via the School Office accessed only via the Radegund Road gate once the Hobart Road gate closes. Between 09:00 and 09:10 the teachers will review the morning activity and discuss the plans for the day ahead. 

09:10: Whole school or House Assembly.

09:30: The children return to the classrooms for learning or head to their Read, Write, Inc groups. In Reception and Key Stage 1 classes this is Read, Write, Inc. time. Read, Write, Inc. takes place in small groups of between 4 and 8 children lead by adults from across the school. The groups take place across the school too, in every available room. In Key Stage 2, this is when Guided Reading happens.

10:00: Read, Write, Inc (and Guided Reading) ends and the children return to their classrooms. Learning continues.

10:45: Breaktime

11:00: Children return to their classrooms and learning continues. 

12:00:  Lunchtime. Children who have a hot school lunch and those who bring a packed lunch go to the playground and play. When their class is called they move to the hall, collect their food and eat it. When they have completed their lunch, they may return to the playground. 

13:00: Afternoon lessons begin, following registration. 

15:10: The school gates are opened and parents are allowed onsite to wait outside their children's classrooms. Nursery ends at this time: younger children should be collected first. 

15:15: The school day ends. Children are dismissed to their parents by the class teachers and teaching assistants. Those children attending after school clubs move to where their clubs happen (e.g. The Library for Latin Club). Children attending Cambridge Kids Club (CKC) are sent to The Hall, or are accompanied (if they are younger). 

CKC children can be collected at any time between 15:15 - 18:00 by ringing the buzzer on the gate by the garage end to the school. CKC children are dismissed through the green gate, not from the front door. 

16:15: When Sports Clubs end, the children are dismissed via the green gate outside the Hall. Any other clubs are dismissed via the front door to the School. Please be prompt for pick up.

18:00: CKC ends.

Total teaching time is 31.25 hours per week.
