What time do you arrive and leave?
by Guest- 8 replies

We have a new Head this term and suddenly staff have started arriving earlier and staying later. Our new Head hasn't specified a arrival and leaving time so I just wanted to hear what other people do. I arrive at 8.00am ( our school day starts at 9.05am) and usually leave at around 4.30pm/4.45pm ( our day finishes at 3.25pm. I often take work home but would prefer to have a break and my tea and then do an hour or so later. Does this sounds reasonable? Can our Head state set times to arrive and leave?

Hi all. I am in a nursery class and having closely looked at our role play area over the last year I find the children have been getting limited use (except home corner). I plan to make a den like role play area and saw an article about this on here where children put up their own material through camping rope, I can't find it now. Could somebody please point me in the right direction. Big thank you!!

Hi I wonder if anyone knows the answer -I am a reception teacher working in a foundation stage unit. Our PE coordinator feels that reception children should be doing 'proper' timetabled PE lessons and although I certainly dont think it would do the children any harm I am not sure if it fits into the EYFS curriculum-we have access to the outside area for much of the day, have all sorts of physical equipment (climbing , balancing . provide bats,balls,hoops etc. use the parachute on occasions but I am worried in case I should be doing the formal type of PE lesson that is done in school. We struggle to fit everything into the day as it is -i.e. we have short sessions of carpe…

Am i being silly or does the statutory guidance not cover the required ratios for outings with reception children? (it is probably staring me in the face!!!) What do other settings do with regard to this?
