Parents should leave pupils at the door at the same place they collect at the end of the day. The door will be kept open to 8.55 a.m. by a nominated member of staff. When the door is closed the register can be taken.
When weather is bad (e.g. heavy rain etc.) then classroom doors will be opened earlier or Senior leaders will open the Junior and Infant halls and supervise until class teachers arrive to collect.
