The Thoresby Vale Primary Academy day is structured as follows:

8.45am – Start of the academy day

The academy gates and classroom doors open at 8.40am, allowing all pupils to be in class and ready to start learning by 8.45am.

 

12.25am – 1.15pm – Lunchtime

 

3.15pm – End of the academy day

The school day finishes at 3.15pm. Children will be dismissed to their grown-ups from the classroom doors, unless they are attending one of our many after-school clubs. Children in year 5 and 6 may walk to and from school by themselves with parents written consent.

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 32 hours and 30 minutes.

What to do if your child is unwell?

If your child is absent or has an appointment during school time, please let us know by telephoning, sending an email or Weduc message to the school office by 9.00am on a daily basis. If your child has sickness or diarrhoea, they must be kept off school for 48 hours after the last episode. An absence can be ‘authorised’ if children are out of school for illness and for medical appointments which genuinely cannot be made out of normal school hours.
