Times of the School Day

At Culloden Primary Academy the school gates open from 08:45am.

At Culloden we have fostered a ‘soft start; approach. All classrooms including Nursery will open from 08:45am. This will allow parents to drop off their child/ren straight to class, 10 minutes earlier without having to wait around in the playground. Pupils will have 10 minutes extra to settle into their school day. The bell will ring at 08.55am as usual-this will indicate class registers are open. The main entrance will close by 09:05am. Parents do not need to stay in the playground after they have dropped off their child to their class.

We start at 8.55am and school finishes at 3.30pm. Registration is from 8.55am – 9.05am.

Nursery part time is from 09.00am -12.00pm

Nursery full time is from 09.00am -3.00pm (an additional payment can be made if you would like your child to stay until 3.30pm)

 

Coming to school every day and on time, every day matters every minute counts.

It’s important that your child attends school every day and on time. School helps your child develop important relationships, take part in all of the curriculum and ensure that they develop friendships later on.
