Class Organisation
We have had an intake of 60 children into Reception each year, from September 2021. We now have two classes in each year group.
Our school has the capacity to eventually have three classes in each year group. We anticipate taking 90 children into Reception in the future. The school will grow from Reception.

Home time. If children are not picked up they wait inside school while a member of staff attempts to contact a parent or carer. Reception children are collected from the EYFS gate. All children in KS1 are collected from their classroom doors on the yard or courtyard. Children in Deer and Squirrel Classes will exit at the East stairs and Skylark and Lapwing Classes will leave via the West stairs. If children are being picked up by an adult other than their usual carer, parents should inform school. |
