School Day
At St Dennis, our school day starts at 0845 when children enter through the playground to their classrooms for registration. They may also have a bagel during this time.
There are two breaks during the school day in addition to the 50 minutes lunch session. Our Reception class have free-flow play so do not have set break times as they enjoy outside learning throughout the day. Nursery are open for 30 hours per week and their session times are 0900 to 1200 and 1230 to 1530.
