Pupils in Nursery and P1

Children in Nursery and P1 may be collected directly at their classroom doors. This allows us to ensure their safe departure and handover.

 

Pupils in P2-P7

Pupils will be led outside by their class teachers at their respective finishing times (2pm/3pm). Please make the class teacher aware when your child has been handed over to you safely.

 

Early Collection

To support teaching staff in the completion of lessons and end of school day procedures, we request that pupils ARE NOT collected at classroom doors BEFORE their scheduled finishing times. Should you need to collect your child BEFORE the 2pm/3pm finishing times, please proceed to the school office where a member of staff will assist you.

 

Please note that P4-P7 classes will require the playground from 2pm onwards each day for outdoor lessons. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping this space available for educational activities.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us to maintain a safe and orderly environment for our pupils.
