Opening Times | Trumpington Park Primary School

The School Day

Trumpington Park Primary School welcomes children into the building at 8:30am when the school gates open. The gates then close at 8:45am when the register is taken. Please do ensure that your child is at school on time as there are valuable learning opportunities set for before and during register time. If your child is late, please come to the front office where they will be signed in.

Please remember that lateness is classed as an absence and will affect your child's attendance. The School Office will call if your child is absent without a reason.

If your child is not at school, please let the office know as soon as possible. The School Office will call you if we do not know why your child is not at school.

At home time the gates open as follows;

EYFS gates open at 3:00 pm for collection from classroom door at 3:05 pm.

Years 1 & 2 gates open at 3:05pm for collection from classroom door at 3:10pm.

Years 3 to 6 gates open at 3:05pm for collection from main playground at 3:15pm.

We also offer a variety of after school clubs that children can also access.

The number of hours in a typical week are 32 hours and 30 minutes ( including a 60 minute lunch time and a 15 minute break time each day).

Arriving at and Leaving School

Children in Reception enter the school through the gate which is around the side of the school. Parents are very welcome to accompany them in the first few days, after which we encourage them to be left at the black gates. Scooters and bikes can be left in the bike rack next to the gate.

Years 1 to 6 enter school through the playground gates, close to the School Office. We ask that Key Stage 1 and 2 children are left at the black gates and any messages be given to the staff member who is welcoming the children in to school. All classes go directly to their classroom doors. Any bikes or scooters can be left in the large bike shelter in the main playground.

At the end of the day Reception, Year 1 and 2 children are dismissed from their classroom doors. KS2 children are brought to the main playground of the school to be dismissed to their parents/carers. Children will only be handed to the adult responsible for collection. Please ensure that the school is informed if someone else is picking your child up from school. If, for any reason, a parent has not arrived to collect their child, the child will return to school with their teacher who will then contact the parent.

In the case of an emergency, please let the school know by telephone if you are going to be delayed at the end of school or if someone else is going to collect your child.

Wraparound provision is available to book through our external providers.
