Our school day begins with drop-off between 07:00 and 08:00, allowing children time to settle comfortably into their classrooms before lessons begin. The structured school programme runs from 08:00 to 12:00, with collection at 12:00 (a short grace period is allowed).
Optional aftercare is available from 12:15 to 17:00 and is charged per hour, providing flexible support for families who require extended supervision beyond the school day.
