# The School Day

## The School Day at Birdsedge First School

Twenty-two and a half hours are spent on teaching during the normal school week.  This includes religious education, but excludes the assemblies, registration and breaks including lunch. We open our school doors at 8:45am where children are greeted and supported to a calm and organised start to the day.

#### The morning school session officially begins at 8.55am and ends at 12 noon.

#### The afternoon session begins at 1pm and ends at 3.30pm.
