The School Day

Soft Start

Aside from Nursery, each classroom is open from 8:30AM for a Soft Start.  Children are encouraged to come in for the Soft Start as it allows for a smoother start to the school day and it provides an opportunity for :

  • Adult support
  • Peer learning
  • Recap opportunities
  • Spelling reinforcement
Please ensure your child brings a school bag, water bottle and their PE kit to school. Please make sure you label ALL your child’s school uniform with their name clearly.
We look forward to welcoming you to Beam County Primary School.

Pupils who arrive late to school should proceed directly to the main office: they will be recorded as late, and the reasons will be investigated, subsequently, by the safeguarding team.
