Varna Community Primary SchoolSchool Day
To help reduce the number of children, parents and carers arriving to school at the same time, we have put in place a staggered start and end schedule across the school.
Please see the information below detailing when and where you should be dropping off and collecting your children each day.

| Reception | 9:00am | Main Playground Gates | 2:45pm |
| Year 1 | 9:10am | Main Playground Gates | 3:10pm |

Siblings
If you have more than one child at the school you can drop them off and collect them at the same time. Please follow this guidance:
- Drop all of your children at the EARLIEST time that a sibling starts
- Collect all of your children at the LATEST time that a sibling starts
- Please drop each child off at their correct entrance and collect from the correct exit.
For example, if you have a child in Reception and a child in Year 3. Drop both children off at 9:00am (Reception start) and collect both children at 3:20pm (Y3 finish).
PLAYTIMES AND LUNCHTIMES
All children have the opportunity to play outside with the children in their bubble at playtime and a lunchtime. They will have access to play equipment to use within their bubble.
The children will have a set area each week which will change every Monday. The play areas are:
- The 3G pitch
- The MUGA
- The KS1 playground
- The Trail and Hoops
AFTERNOON PLAYTIMES
KS1 have an afternoon playtime from 2.20pm – 2.30pm.
Foundation Stage operate a policy of continuous access to outdoor provision.
GETTING TO SCHOOL
To get to and from school, walking is definitely the best option! There are lots of benefits: it’s healthier than travelling by car, it improves the safety of pedestrians and road-users, and it respects nearby residents and parking regulations. If you do need to travel by car, please park wisely.
