The School Day

School starts at 8.45am.

The gates open at 8.30am.  A number of pupils attending Little Heath travel by transport provided by the local authority; however this is not an automatic right. Parent/carers need to apply to their local authority to obtain transport.  Intensive independent travel training is given to those who are ready, but this is only offered after consultation with parents/carers.

Pupils arriving by school transport are met by staff at the school gate at the West Ham or School car park.  There are always adults supervising. If you bring your child to school after registration, please accompany him/her to the school office.

Breakfast

Students can have breakfast in their classroom during registration. This is £1 per day, to be paid in  advance, or free for Free School Meal entitled students.

Food and drinks available:

• Cereals
• Fruit
• Yogurt
• Toast
• Tea, Coffee or Hot Chocolate
• Fruit Juice

Afternoons

School finishes at 3.15pm on Monday to Thursday, and on Friday school ends at 2.00pm.

At the end of the day pupils are taken to their designated bus by school staff and met by their escorts at the gate and taken to the buses in the West Ham Car Park.

If your child is to be collected by parents/carers we ask parents to come to the main school car park and wait behind the gates.

Those who are independent travellers arrive and leave the school by the pedestrian gate.

If your son/daughter arrives by school transport they will have an escort on the bus. Letters to and from home, and dinner  money etc., can be given to the escort who will pass these between home and school.
