School Hours

Please find below infomrtaion about how our day is structured at Swallowdale. We have spent some time thinking carefully about our timetable to ensure that it allows the curriculum to be delivered as effectively as possible whilst also allowing children to have time to engage in social activities and enjoy their healthy lunch.

BREAK TIMES AND LUNCHTIMES
All classes have a 15 minute break in the morning. We do not have a set break time as we find flexibility is important to allow the teachers to build their morning curriculum around the children and their learning rather than break time.
Key Stage 1 and 2 have lunch from 12pm to 1pm.
EYFS have lunch from 12.30pm to 1.30pm.
