Thomas Jolyffe Primary School

Useful Information - Opening Hours etc.

School is open for at least the statutory time of 32.5 hours per week for every year group including Reception. However, to accommodate the local community this is extended by a flexible drop-off time (8.45am to 8.55am) and 5 minute collection gaps at pick-up. Reception are collected at 3.20pm, Year 1 and 2 at 3.25pm, and Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 at 3.30pm. This is to allow parents with more than one child to pick up in a timely manner.

Thomas Jolyffe Primary School is determined for all pupils to succeed. Since the previous inspection, many changes have been made. The school has prioritised the development of the curriculum to promote high expectations for all pupils. Staff invest in pupils to build positive relationships with them. Personal development is a strength. The school provides opportunities to enrich pupils’ experiences. Pupils value participating in sporting competitions, such as cross country, football and netball. They also take on positions of responsibility, including school councillors and inclusion champions. Pupils value the leadership skills that they are developing. The school has developed an inclusive environment, where all pupils participate in every aspect of school life. Recently, the school has had a new library. The pupils are very proud of it and say, ‘It is a reading wonderland. It is like walking into another world.’ (OFSTED April 2024)
