At St George's, the school week is 32 hours 55 minutes per week. Registration begins at 8.40am every morning and the school day finishes at 3.15pm.

The children go straight to their classrooms and begin their school day, usually with an early morning task or activity to begin the day.  Staff on the gate will be available for messages about children, however we ask that an email is sent to the office so all the necessary staff are informed. For urgent appointments, parents should approach the school office who will ensure the teacher and/or Head Teacher is informed.

At 10.15am there is a 15 minute supervised playtime for the infants, during which time they will receive free fruit. At 10.30am junior children have their 15 minute break and can enjoy fruit or other healthy snacks provided by their parents.

 Lunch break begins at 12.00pm and ends at 1.00pm for all children. The school day ends at 3.15pm. Reception class are collected by their parents from the gate to their outdoor classroom. Other infant children are met by their parents at the gate to the infant fenced area. Infant children remain with their teacher until parents arrive.

Year 3 and 4 children are also escorted to the fenced area in the playground and Year 5 and 6 pupils leave by their classroom doors onto the playground. Their teacher will stay until all of the children are collected but all children should be collected on time. If parents know that they will be late, we ask them to notify the school beforehand so that we can reassure the children and keep them safe in the building until they are collected. Please note that this should only happen in an emergency situation. If this becomes a regular occurence, the children will go into after school club and parents will be charged. 

If another adult is to collect a child other than their parent/carer, a letter or message is necessary on the day concerned. If this is to be a regular event, one note at the beginning of term stating the arrangement will suffice.
