Our School Day

School is open from 8:40am - 3:10pm Monday to Friday

Our playground gates open at 8:30am and children and parents are welcomed on the playground by members of the school team.  It is here messages can be given to a member of staff. The children are met on the playground by their year group adults and enter the school building at 8:40am.  In line with DfE expectations, we provide 32.5 hours of school per week. 

Learning and Playing Outdoors

The children’s morning playtime starts at 10.10am and finishes at 10.30am. Our outdoor facilities are expansive and being developed. We are lucky to have a very large playground, a trim trail, a huge field and outdoor seating areas which are used for relaxing and play.

Lunchtime

We have a school hall in which we get together for whole school and class assemblies and use the same space for lunch time. At Southfield, lunches are staggered so that everyone has enough space to eat and socialise with friends. if the weather is nice, children are given the option to have their packed lunch outside. 

Afternoon Activities

During the afternoon, the children engage in a variety of lessons across the curriculum including PE, Science and other subjects.
