The children's school day is from 8:50am to 3:20pm

Breaks and playtimes

12:10 to 13:10 Lunchtime play 

The children also have a 15 minute morning play break starting at 10:50

Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) may also have a short afternoon break.

School Meals

The school has an on-site kitchen and cook team who provide hot school meals at lunchtime. All dietary needs are carefully catered for.

Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 (Cherry and Apple Tree classes) are eligible for free school dinners in accordance with the Government’s Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme.

Parents of children in Years 3-6 are required to pay for school meals using their SchoolGrid account. Families on low incomes can apply for free school meals by completing this Cambridgeshire County Council form

Please note that ALL lunches (whether Universal Free School Meals, Free School Meals or paid KS2 meals), must be booked in advance via the SchoolGrid system.  Where appropriate, payment will also be made via the SchoolGrid system.

For more information please see here.

Packed Lunch

All children are welcome to bring a packed lunch instead of receiving a hot school meal with the agreements that:

• The contents of the lunch box is nutritious (balanced between savoury and sweet. Also no chocolate or sweets)
• Does not contain any nuts, seeds or grains
• Has enough food to satisfy your child’s hunger
• Is brought into school in a named lunch bag/box.

REMINDER:  We are a nut, seed and kiwi free school.

Snacks

Children in Reception and Key Stage one (Cherry Tree and Apple Tree Class) are provided each day with a free fruit or vegetable snack at morning break. There is no free snack provided for children in Years 3-6.

Parents in any year group can allow their children to bring in a snack from home, but this must be either fruit, vegetable or dry carbohydrates (eg bread sticks or rice cakes).

Travelling to School

Most people walk or cycle to school and there are bicycle racks inside the school grounds to safely lock up bikes. We request that parents do not park in School Lane to collect or drop off children as it is a private road. We do have a bus lay-by but this is not available for general parking from 8.40am to 8.55am and from 3.15pm to 3.45pm, as we need to ensure the children can board and leave the bus safely from the pavement.
