Our School Day

School is open for a total of 32.5 hours per week. 

Our school day starts with a drop off period from 8:40am - 8.45am each day. Children are expected to be in school on time and ready to start at 8.50am when the register will be taken.

The morning is typically made up of English and Maths and the afternoons are typically when the wider curriculum is taught.

On a Thursday afternoon we have a specialist teaching afternoon. Miss Lodge teaches PE across the school, Miss Mill teaches computing across the school and Mrs O'Reilly teaches music across the school. 

On a Wednesday morning, all three classes have an hour-long PE lesson with an external coach through EPC. For more information about EPC you can visit their website: EPC 

On a Friday morning, one year group take part in a forest school session run by Mrs Norris in Berwick Hall woods. Each year group attends for a minimum of 4 sessions at some point during the academic year.   

Below is an example timetable that may be used. Each classes timetable is slightly different, so if you would like more information, please contact the school office.

What happens if school closes? 

We will try our absolute best to avoid closing the school. However, there are times when this may be unavoidable. 

Should we need to close the school we will:

  • Post a message on ClassDojo;
  • Send an email to parents;
  • Send a text message to parents;
  • Update the Essex school closures page: Essex School Closures 

We will also convert to home learning via Google Classroom/ClassDojo as quickly as possible.
