--- title: "School Day" url: "https://castleview.school/school-day" school: "Castle View Primary Academy" --- # School Day ## School Hours Our school hours are 8.45am – 3.15pm. We open our gates and classroom doors from 8.40am every morning. We do expect that all children should be in school by 8.45am. If children **arrive after 8.45am** they may miss registration, so they need to be signed in at the front office by an adult. This is so we know they are in school – in case we have an emergency or evacuation and do a roll-call. In order to keep children safe, children must be **collected from their teacher at 3.15pm,** from either their classroom or the yard. We can **only let children leave the school gates alone at 3.15pm if** they are in Years 5 or 6, and we have signed consent for the child to ‘walk home alone’ (no matter how far they will be walking). If children have to **leave before** 3.15pm they will need to be collected from the office by an adult and be signed out, for the same reason. We keep the **gates locked** between 8.45am and 3.15pm, and ask everyone to sign in and out at the front office. This is to make sure we know who is on site – both in case we have an emergency or an evacuation and need to do a roll-call, and to safeguard the children. **Total weekly hours 32.5** ### Parents - [Term Dates](https://castleview.school/term-dates) - [Attendance & Absence](https://castleview.school/attendance-and-absence) - [School Meals](https://castleview.school/school-meals) - [School Day](https://castleview.school/school-day) - [School Uniform](https://castleview.school/school-uniform) - [Emergency School Closures](https://castleview.school/emergency-school-closures) - [Family Support](https://castleview.school/family-support) - [Useful Links](https://castleview.school/links) - [Newsletters](https://castleview.school/newsletters) ##### Location Keswick Road Lancaster Lancashire LA1 3LE ##### Contact Us 01524 67880 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581986532153) - [X](https://x.com/CastleViewAcad) © Copyright 2024–2026 Castle View Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://castleview.school/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
