Our School Day

We begin our school day by greeting each other on the playground and our teachers are ready to meet our pupils as they arrive at school. The school gates are opened at 8:30am and a member of the Senior Leadership Team will be on the playground from this time.  The doors open at 8:40am. Children should make their way inside at this time and should be inside the building by 8:45am ready for the day to begin.

Our official start time is 8:45am and our school finish time is 3:15pm each day.  This totals 32.5 hours per week.

We have lots of after school clubs and activities and APS Extra offers after school child care.  Information is sent out over the year to inform parents of the clubs on offer.
