Health & Safety S.A.T.s Contact History Gallery Newsletter	Daily strategy The school is generally organised in classes by age order, although there may be exceptions. At Rising Five, when children join the main school, they enter a class with children of a similar age. They then progress through the school on a chronological basis. Within this framework, children are streamed and work in small groups, based upon ability, special interest or friendship groups. More able children can progress at their own speed and less able children are given extra support. The children's work follows Curriculum 2000 guidelines, ensuring continuity and progression. The School Day The school bell rings at 8.55am. When the bell rings the children join their class lines, and come into school with their teacher. Any child arriving after this time will be recorded as a 'late arrival'. At the end of the day, the parents are invited into the classrooms to collect their children. No child is allowed to leave until the class teacher has seen their parent/carer. This is to ensure the safety of your child at all times.

Lunch There are two sittings for lunch: the first is for the younger children in Reception/Year 1, and the second is for the Year 2 children. The children have their lunch in the Memorial Hall, cared for by midday supervisors. Children bring their own packed lunch. We recommend no sweets or chocolate are brought. We consider a healthy lunch box to include sandwiches, a drink in a flask, carton or bottle (no glass), some fruit and something sweet if required. We request that your child does not bring peanut butter sandwiches or nuts for his/her lunch due to the severe allergic reaction to nuts which some children experience.
