Edith Weston Academy School hours

The school day runs from 08:45 to 15:25. This provides children with a 32.5 hours school week in line with DfE guidance.

Any children who are not in class by 08:55 will be marked as late, this is monitored by the Headteacher and attendance officer. Any children who arrive after 08:55 must come to the office and the caregiver must confirm the late drop off as the gate to the playground will be closed.

We ask parents who are dropping off and collecting to park in the village and not to use the staff carpark unless the Headteacher has discussed this with yourself. There are spaces available along Weston Road, and we have the support of the local community and police monitoring parking on the zig zags. We teach the children road safety and we would like all parents to respect and demonstate this.

Scooters and bikes may be left in the covered bike shelter at the entrance of school, we do not take responsibility for items left in the bike shelter.

Children must be collected promptly from their classroom or after school club. Delays in collecting result in causing further delays for staff. If normal arrangements are altered please contact the office or inform your child's class teacher. We will not allow your child to go home with someone or walk home on their own else unless we have been notified. It is your responsibility to inform us of any changes to who can and who can't take your child home.

Should your child need to take any prescribed medicines whilst at school it will be administered by a member of staff, on a voluntary basis. You must complete a medicine form which needs to be collected and returned to the office. We are unable to give any unprescribed medication.
