At Nythe Primary School, we provide a total of 32.5 hours of education in each week.
Each day, the playground gate opens at 8:35am. We ask that Year 1 to Year 6 children come in unaccompanied to register in their class prior to taking part in the daily mile at 8.45am. Plenty of staff will be on hand to help them hang up their belongings.
All children should arrive in their class by 8.45am. The playground gate closes at 8:45am and any children arriving after this time should enter the school via the office so an adult can ensure that they are marked as late on the register. The late register closes at 9:05am.
Please note the gates will never be opened before 8.35am and there are no members of staff available to supervise your child before this time. We therefore ask you not to send your child to school before 8:35 am, or to leave them unsupervised in the school grounds at any time.
The school day finishes at 3:15pm. The playground gate is opened at 3:10pm each day for parents to make their way to their child’s class to collect them at 3:15pm. Any children who have not been collected by 3:25pm, when the playground gate is closed, will be cared for in the school office until they are collected.
We ask parents to leave their children at the classroom door. We want the children to independently hang up their coats and put their things away. We also want the children to have time with their teachers to enable a positive start to the day.
Teachers are always available at the end of the day for an informal chat or to make an appointment for a specific meeting.
