The School Day

Naburn is committed to ensuring all its pupils receive a full-time education which maximises opportunities and achievement for all. For pupils to gain the most from their time at Naburn, it is vital that they maintain excellent attendance and punctuality and we are committed to supporting pupils and their parents and carers in sustaining this throughout their time at school.

You can find our full Attendance Policy on the Policies and Documents page.

After the complications of Covid timetables, bubbles and limited opportunities for parents to join us in school, we are pleased that we are now able to safely have a much more ‘normal’ looking school day!

Timings of the School Day

  • We open the school gates to all our children each morning at 8:45. Please make sure that your child is present and in class on time so that we can get on with all our exciting learning!
  • There is a playtime for all children, between 11:00 and 11:20.
  • Lessons then continue from 11:20 to 12:15.
  • The children have a break for lunch (and to play!) from 12:15 to 1:15. You can find information about lunch and our school dinner menus here.
  • We than have more learning time, from 1:15 to 2:50. The children in Acorn Class sometimes have an afternoon playtime, when their teachers feel it is appropriate.
  • At 2:50, most days, our school comes together for our daily act of collective worship. You can read more about this here. On Thursdays this is usually a celebration assembly and we invite parents and carers to join us.
  • 3:15 each day is hometime – although children may take part in extra curricular clubs and activities!
