The School Day
The school day starts at 8.45am with the gate being opened slightly earlier. Children should be supervised upon arrival and wait near their classroom door for the bell to be rung as this indicates children can enter school.
The door to the reception class will be opened a little earlier when Mrs Braham is ready for the children.
Please don’t allow children on the grass before school. Children are not permitted on the fitness equipment either before or after school due to insurance reasons. If you are late to school and the top gate is locked, you will need to bring your child to the main office. They will be marked as late in the register.
School finishes at 3.15pm. Children in reception, Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be handed over to an adult familiar to the teacher. If someone else is collecting your child, then please notify either the class teacher or the office as soon as possible. Children in Years 5 and 6 may walk home on their own providing you have given consent. Please speak to Mrs Hall if you require a consent form.
If any child is not collected 5 minutes after the end of the day they will be brought to the main entrance.
If you are running late due to unforeseen circumstances, then please ring the school office as soon as possible so that we can take care of your child until you arrive. Please then pick them up from the main entrance.
Playtime for Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 is 10.20 – 10.35am. For KS2 playtime is 10.40am – 10.55am. Lunchtime is between 12 and 1pm. Children go into the hall in Year groups – reception & KS1, years 3 & 4 and years 5 & 6. All sittings have around 20 minutes to eat their lunch and a 40-minute playtime.
Healthy Dinners at Escrick Primary School
We pride ourselves in supplying our children with excellent food. We feel that it is one of the most important parts of a child’s life – to eat properly.
Eating a healthy diet enables a child to live life to the full and gives them a better performance all round, specifically helping with their concentration levels – which in turn affects achievement.
So we encourage all of our children to have a school dinner. There’s a great amount of choice for them suiting a variety of tastes.
We are now able to offer changeable hot dinners and packed lunch options through the week. Please contact Mrs Gibson-Bone for more information.
It’s lovely to see so many pupils bringing in such a wide range of healthy packed lunches and snacks. Can we please remind you that a healthy, filling breakfast and a healthy snack at break time provides a little boost for your child’s learning during the morning sessions. A healthy dinner then also provides a further boost throughout the afternoon session until you get home or into after school clubs.
Can we please ask that foods high in fat and sugar are not sent into school as well as taking into account pupils in school with nut allergies.
Thank you

After School Clubs at Escrick Primary School
At Escrick we believe in broad experiences outside of the classroom as well as inside. With this in mind, we carefully plan our after school and extra curricular clubs based on pupil and parent voice.
Mrs Gibson Bone sends out letters in advance of the club and clubs are usually on first come, first served basis so get replies in early.
If you have any suggestions, please see Mr Deakin and we will do our best to accommodate as many as we can.
Ben will continue to run the sports club after school on Mondays.
This term the clubs on offer are currently being reviewed following the latest Health and Safety guidance so watch this space!
