The Wainwright Primary Academy day is structured as follows:
9am – Academy day begins
Doors open from 8.45am
Children in the nursery, reception and key stage 1 are greeted at the classroom door. Children in key stage 2 are met by their class teacher on the playground.
10.10 – 11am – Break time
Children have a staggered morning break and there is a large playground and a large field that allow children to get some fresh air, spend time with friends and develop through these interactions. All playtimes are supervised by staff, and we encourage active wet and messy play as an important part of the social and physical development of your child.
11.30am – 1.15pm – Lunchtime
Lunchtime is again staggered with all children having 50 minutes for their break. Our reception children eat first at 11.30am, key stage 1 at 11.30am, lower key stage 2 at 12.10pm and upper key stage 2 children at 12.25pm.
Children can either bring a healthy packed lunch or choose from our academy meals, which must be paid for in advance and are prepared on site. As well as two main meal options (one vegetarian), salad and fruit are available daily.
We use a cashless system for payment of meals – details of this will be provided if your son/daughter is successful in applying for a place at the academy.
A wide range of playground games are played during lunchtimes, and our staff oversee these activities to ensure all children are safe and happy.
3.10pm – Academy day ends
Staff see out children at the end of the day, unless children are attending one of our wide range of after school clubs.
Please note: Children may not be dropped off or collected by minors under the age of 16. In exceptional circumstances, and only if the school has been informed in advance by a parent / carer, we may allow a child aged 16 or over to drop off or collect a child.
Where another adult is delegated to collect a child, we will expect to issue the parent with a password for the delegated adult to use with the school office.
Children attend school for a total of 30 hours and 50 minutes.
