Our School Day

Children are invited to arrive to school between 8.35am to 8.50am. To encourage independence, please say goodbye on the playground and allow your child to enter the class on their own. This kiss and drop off arrangement will be introduced when Reception children are ready. All children should use the pedestrian entrance on the Gun Park. 

The bell rings at 8.50am, the pedestrian gate is locked and registration is taken. Children arriving after 8.50am must be accompanied by their parents/carers and enter via the school office.

We also offer an Early Morning Club from 8.00am to 8.35am. The cost if £1.00 per morning and we ask that children have breakfast before arriving. Places are booked and paid for in advance by calling the school office or emailing office@eastry.kent.sch.uk
