Reception to Y6:
Start & End of day timings
Arrive at school by 8:50 and line up.
School day starts at 8:55 (the bell will usually ring)
Any pupil arriving after the bell has rung (or after 8:55) is late and will need to sign in at the office and be marked as late.
Children must be collected at 3:30pm, no later than 3:40pm.
If you are running late for some reason, you must call and inform the school in advance.
Pupils who are persistently collected late will be referred to children’s social services as a safeguarding concern.
Pupils who are not collected and their parents/carers do not respond to telephone calls will be referred to children’s social services as a safeguarding concern.

Soft Start
Featherstone Primary & Nursery School
From 1st October all Year 6 pupils will start school at 8.30am
Benefits of Soft Start:• Calm start to the day – right frame of mind for optimum
learning• Opportunities for pupils to take part in a range of pupil
led activities which support their learning• Pupils are punctual (reduces lateness)• Pupils are ready and settled to start the school day
Expectations – help your child to achieve and
learn better, make faster progress and be more
successful.
Featherstone Primary & Nursery School
Please make sure that
1. your child goes to bed early and has a good night’s sleep.- Children who have a good sleep perform better at school
2. your child has a good breakfast before coming to school.- Children who eat breakfast learn faster and achieve more highly
3. your child arrives to school before 8:55am- Children who arrive early or on time are more prepared and ready for their
learning and make faster progress than pupils who arrive late, even by a few
minutes.
4. your child attends to school every day if possible. - Children with excellent attendance achieve more highly and are more
successful at school and in their adult life.
- Holidays will not be allowed during term time. Holidays should be taken
during the school holidays. There are 13 weeks of school holidays.
Including weekends, that is equivalent to 175 days when children are not
in school. Holidays should be taken during these 175 days.
