To accommodate the start of the academic year, with new families joining throughout the school, and to prevent the driveway from becoming too congested, we stagger the start of the school day on the first day of term only. For students in Reception to Year 6 this is between 8.45am and 9.15am, and for students in Year 7 and above this is between 8am and 8.30am. 

We understand that parents with children in different sections of the school are not going to wish to hang around, so please bring the younger sibling to class when you bring your Middle or Senior School son or daughter to school.

It will still be possible to drop any children within the Lower School at Early Birds at 8am, where a member of staff will be available to greet the children in Mrs Moir’s Reception classroom.

School day timings will revert to the normal schedule from the second day of term, with registration at 8.25am.

It is worth noting that the first few days of the new academic year can be particularly busy at the end of the school day if students are collected at 4.30pm. Therefore, we encourage parents to encourage their children to stay for Prep. Activities and clubs will start within the first week or so, after which things tend to settle down a bit.
