Gardners Lane Primary School

Collective worship takes place every other day between 9:00-9:30am in our school hall or in classrooms.  Our first collective worship of the week introduces the theme for the week and celebrates our singing.  Each week we have either a religious or celebratory theme. We are also regularly joined by the 'Open the Book' team, who act out scenes from the bible in a fun and exciting manner. On Friday, we have our Celebration assembly, where we celebrate birthdays, house points and learning achievements. .

Morning break is currently from 10:30-10:45 in either the infant or junior playgrounds.

Children have lunch between 11:45 - 1:00.  Currenlty hot meals are searved in the hall, along with home packed lunches.

Children in Key Stage 1 have an afternoon playtime between 2:15 - 2:30

Reception have break times which are quite flexible.

At the beginning and end of the school day, parents are asked to drop off and collect from the playground via the outside corridor. Parents are encouraged to remain within the outdoor corridor and follow the one-way system.

The gates are open at 8:35 for the start of the day.

The gates are open at 3:15 for the end of the day.

If normal arrangements have to be altered (e.g. you are delayed or another person is collecting your child) please let the office know.

To get to and from school, walking is definitely the best option! There are lots of benefits: it’s healthier than travelling by car, it improves the safety of pedestrians and road-users, and it respects nearby residents and parking regulations. Alternatively, we have bike-racks. If you do need to travel by car, please park wisely.
