School Timetable
At St Mary’s, we structure the school day to ensure every child has a calm start, a balanced learning timetable, and opportunities for play, rest and reflection.
We have a soft start from 8:35am, allowing children to enter their classrooms, settle to morning activities and prepare for learning.
All children are expected to be in school by 8:45am.
All pupils attend school for 32.5 hours per week, in line with national expectations.
