School for Infant children starts at 8.50am and Junior children at 8.55am. At the end of the day, Infant children leave at 3.20pm and Junior children leave at 3.30pm. Pupils should not be on site, unaccompanied, no earlier than 8.40am for Infants and 8.45am for Juniors as adult supervision cannot be guaranteed. A typical week for our children in school is 32.5 hours.
Parking
Due to the number of pupils and proximity to Durham City, access to our school is very difficult and has, at times, proven dangerous for our pupils. Please read the attached letter from governors setting out some agreed rules to protect our pupils.
