The Meet and Greet Playground gates open at 8.45am.
The Meet and Greet playground by Wallis Avenue is where all children should be dropped off and collected from school. It is only in exceptional circumstances, which have been agreed with Miss White that the Brishing Lane entrance is to be used.
Our expectation is that your child is on the Meet and Greet playground by 8.50 am to join their class.
The Brishing Lane entrance is NOT to be used as a quick drop off for your children in the mornings UNLESS there is a legitimate/appropriate reason.
Any pupil arriving after 9.15am will be marked as unauthorised in the register unless there is a valid reason given eg medical.
