In the morning, our teachers open their classroom doors at 8:30am to greet the children into the classroom for registration. We believe this provides a positive, calm and welcoming start to the day for all; ensuring that children and staff can engage in their learning promptly.

If your child arrives after 8:45am, they will need to sign in at the office and the office team will ensure that your child arrives safely to their classroom. At this stage, your child will be marked as late before the register closes. Should your child arrive after 9:00am, they will be registered as late.

It is important that all of our children attend school regularly and that they arrive promptly in order to be settled and ready to learn at the start of each school day. Parents should inform us at their earliest convenience if their child is unable to attend school for any reason via office@berrywoodprimary.co.uk or by calling us on 01489 780068.

Our Senior Leadership team are on the courtyard every morning should you have any questions, concerns or need any support.
