Useful Information

Due to our current Risk Assessment, we have staggered start and finish times. These are designed to reduce the numbers of children trying to come through the gates at the same time, and to ease congestion for adults dropping off or collecting their children. Year groups have slightly different start and finish times to usual so please check with the office if you are not sure. We ask adults to wear masks at the gate and to maintain their 2m distance. Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.

The School Day

School starts at 8.55am and the doors open at 8.40am to allow children to get settled into class. Doors are closed at 8.50am and after that, children will have to come in through the office.

Reception to Year 6 children take one hour for their lunch from 12.00pm - 1.00pm. Nursery children usually eat earlier, to fit around their hours. All years have a 15 minute break during the morning and Key Stage 1 have a short break in the afternoon.

 

School finishes at 3.20pm.

Our Nursery has two sessions Monday to Friday during term time. From 8.30am to 11.30am and 12:10pm  to 3:10pm.

Parents of children in Reception can bring their children into school from 8.45am and help to settle them into their class. Other years line up in their playground and are brought in by their teacher.

For health and safety, dogs are not allowed on the school grounds and vehicles may only be driven onto the school grounds before 8:30am and after 3:40pm.

At the end of the school day no child in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 will be allowed to go home without an authorised adult. If your child is not collected by 3.30pm we will bring them to wait by the school office. If you know you will be late collecting your child, please let us know.

School uniform

 

The school colours are green and grey and we encourage all parents to send their children to school in these colours. This helps to create a Greenhill identity and gives our pupils a sense of belonging. All pupils are required to wear plain, black shoes or trainers in school. Our children are NOT allowed to wear jewellery in school. If they have pierced ears, only plain studs that children can remove themselves for PE are permitted. The children do not need to bring any kind of equipment, so no pencil cases are allowed.

 

Children are expected to wear a combination of the following items:

 

• Green sweatshirt/cardigan (with the school logo if you wish)
• White polo shirts (with the school logo if you wish)
• White blouse or shirt
• Grey trousers or shorts or skirt or pinafore dress
• Green gingham checked summer dress
• Black shoes or trainers (plain)

 

When choosing clothing, please consider these points:

1. All children need to wear clothes which they can easily remove and put on themselves especially on PE days. This supports independence and significantly reduces changing times.
2. Please ensure your child’s name is on all articles clothing, including their pumps. Every week we have lost items of clothing which no-one claims. Adding a name means it will be reunited with the child.
3. Jeans and leggings of any colour are not accepted in school.
4. Especially in summer, we prefer you to avoid flip-flops or loose fitting sandals, as they are not easy to run around in.
    

Uniform can be ordered direct from My Clothing https://myclothing.com/ueslink/5455.school?t=1587473995623 , please see prices below. A stock of pumps is held in school for immediate use.
