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.
