The School Day

We have a staggered start and finish here at Diggle School. This helps ease the congestion on the roads around school, and helps parents dropping off at different classrooms.

For Classes R, 1 and 2, the doors open at 8.40am and close at 8.45am.  Children arriving after 8.50am are deemed as late. The day ends at 3.10pm.

For classes 3, 4, 5 and 6, the doors open at 8.50am and close at 8.55am. Children arriving after 9am are deemed as late. The school day ends at 3.20pm.

Please see the Hometime Policy for full details, however in summary, children in classes R to 4 inclusive must be collected by a nominated adult (person over 18), or be going into BASC after school.  For last minute changes in collection the parent must telephone school to confirm the new arrangements.  Children in classes 5 and 6 can be dismissed to walk home without an adult only on written confirmation by a parent or guardian.
