The start and finish and longer day

We have a ‘soft start’ at the beginning of the day, to allow flexibility for families to drop their children off.  An average school day at Hope Community School runs from 8:30am to 3:30pm. The school day ends slightly earlier for Reception aged children to assist the transition into school life.
