Class Routine

School starts with a soft start at 8:40 am, where the children are greeted with a smile as they enter their classroom. They complete daily calculations / timetables, a SPaG worksheet and a spelling activity. Reading to an adult and reading for pleasure happens during this time too.

Registration takes place at 8.50am followed by a child each day leading prayers.

Friday is French Friday with the register taken in French and prayers in French too.

To ensure the children are knowing more and remembering more, Friday is Flashback Friday with four retrieval questions set each week to see if the children have retained the previous knowledge taught.

The remainder of the morning consists of a Maths lesson, comprising arithmetic, reasoning and problem solving and English, consisting of writing, reading, punctuation, grammar and spelling.

The afternoon sessions are used to teach the remaining subjects: RE (20% of the timetable), science, history, geography, PE, art, DT, music, French, RSE and computing.
