School Hours

We appreciate that at times this security may seem unnecessary in such a lovely community as Ratby. However, we take the security of our children and staff extremely seriously and can never be complacent. We have always and will continue to welcome parents and carers into our school, but we must have control of when this is and who is on site so that we can ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone. If you ever have any suggestions as to how we might improve this, you are more than welcome to share them with me.

To support this, we do ask parents to vacate the site in the morning once they have handed children over to the teachers so that we can secure the site as quickly as possible. In this, I thank you for your support.

Below is an outline of the school day. Our school day ensures that we meet the minimum DfE requirement of at least 32.5 hours per week.
