At St John's Meads Primary School, punctual attendance is essential to ensure a smooth start to the day and maximise learning time. The school gates open at 8.30am, with classroom doors opening at 8.40am. Registers are taken promptly at 8.50am, marking the beginning of the morning session, which runs until 12.00pm. After lunch, the afternoon session begins at 1.00pm. Reception and Key Stage 1 finish at 3.20pm, while Key Stage 2 pupils finish at 3.25pm.

We encourage all families to support good attendance and punctuality to help children thrive and achieve their God-given potential.
