Years 1 to 6
All children in Years 1-6 return to school on Wednesday 4th September.
Year R New Starters
New starters joining our Reception classes will have a phased start. Reception staff will be making home visits between Tuesday 3rd and Friday 6th September. All new starters will start Reception part-time from Monday 9th September before they all attend from Friday 13th September.
We expect all new Reception pupils to be wearing school uniform when they are in school.
Access points
(5) the gate in between our delivery entrance and the Greenbank Mews houses on Cobden Street.
(6) the gate at the bottom of Cobden Street on to the North Street Playground.
Entry to classrooms is through the external classroom doors or through the doors between the Key Stage 1 and 2 buildings below the canopies past the circular courtyard with the painted picture walls. Staff will be positioned at the entry points and around the site to guide anyone who is not sure where to go.
Drop-off & Pick-up times
Dismissal at the end of the day is at the normal time of 3.20pm for Years 1 and 2 and 3.25pm for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Children should be collected from the external door of their own classroom. Again, staff will be around the school site to direct parents who may not be sure where to go.
To avoid congestion in the Year 4 courtyard at the end of the day, the pick-up locations for two of the classes will be in the circular courtyard on the other side of the glass corridor. Badger Class will be dismissed from the doorway beneath the canopies, indicated on the map above with a pink star. Elm Class will be dismissed from the doorway from the glass corridor, indicated on the map above with a blue star. Bluebell and Goldfinch classes will be released from their external doors into the Year 4 courtyard.
Children in Years 5 and 6 only are permitted to leave their classes at 3.25pm unaccompanied as long as parents and carers have given their permission. A ParentMail response form will be available for this purpose from 12:00 midday on Sunday 1st September.
Medication drop-off
If your child needs any medication during the school day, this can be handed over to our Health Care Assistant, who will be located in the Reception outdoor area (inside Gate 3) between 8.30 and 9.15am on Wednesday 4th September.
School lunches
School meals continue to be ordered and paid for using the ParentMail app.
Don’t forget to top up your account in ParentMail ready for the new term.
Pupils in Year 3 are no longer eligible for free lunches under the Universal Infant Free School Meals funding. You can find out if you are eligible for Benefits Related Free School Meals by clicking the button below. If you are not eligible, you will need to add money to your ParentMail account to pay for meals. Meals cost £2.40 per day (£12 per week).
School uniform
Please take time to look at our school uniform page as a reminder of our expectations.
New school uniform items can be ordered using the ParentMail app.
We have a supply of pre-loved uniform items which are available at no cost, although items do need to be ordered — a form for this is available from our office in the main school entrance.
Don’t forget that the Level Trust charity offers free school uniform and support to all Luton families through their Uniform Exchange, located in The Mall.
