The Start and End of the School Day

Parents can drop off their children at school from 8:00. The children will then be looked after by teachers or teaching assistants outside (in the kiosk in case of bad weather) until 8:15. Children who come to school by bike park their bikes in the bike parking on the playground. At 8:15 all children quietly go to their own classroom, where they are welcomed by their class teacher. Lessons start at 8:30.

The following rules must be adhered to on the playground:

The children shall not leave the school playground during school hours and during breaks
Cycling on the playground is not allowed.

The following rules must be adhered to when children enter the school:

The children should wipe their feet.
The children should enter the school calmly.
The children are not allowed to enter the school with roller skates, inline skates or roller shoes.
The children walk calmly, without running, to the coat hooks /lockers to hang up their coats / store their bags and enter their classroom.

To promote quietness in the school and to allow teachers to fully focus on their students or other tasks, accompanying parents should say goodbye to their children at the Kiss & Ride or on the playground. Only the exchange of urgent, brief information to the teacher is permitted before school. There is more time after school.

Pupils who arrive late are marked as being late on the class absence list. Parents of children who arrive persistently late will be required to come to a meeting with the Head of Department to discuss how the matter can be resolved.

After school, children who attend after-school care or participate in after-school activities go to the relevant classroom in the school. The youngest students are accompanied by a teacher or teaching assistant. Pupils who go home immediately after school are accompanied to their parents’ car (Kiss & Ride) or walk or cycle home by themselves.. Parents who pick up their children on foot or by bike, or parents who want to talk to a teacher after school, wait in the playground until school is out. In case of bad weather, parents can wait in the kiosk on the playground.

Lunch Break

The students remain at school during lunch break, except on Wednesdays. Children bring their own lunch to school. They eat their lunch in the classroom under the supervision of the class teacher. The school promotes healthy eating and requests that each child brings at least one piece of fruit to school each day. We are a nut aware school.  Students are not allowed to have nuts in their snacks or lunches and this includes peanut butter and nutella.
