Castor CofE Primary School Daily Start Time:

School Gates open at 8.35am and children line up with their class teachers and are escorted into school at 8:45am.

The gates are locked at 8:50am and any child arriving after this time should be signed in as being late through the office entrance.  

If children arrive via the front office, they will be marked late (or 'late after the register is taken', which affects their overall attendance percentage).

The gates open for parents/carers to collect their children at 3.10pm.  

Children will be released to their parent/carer or designated adult by teachers at 3.15pm.  

If a child is not picked up by 3.30pm, they will be looked after by the school's after school care provision until their parent/carer arrives.  There will be a charge for this service.
