Our School Day

Our School Day at Banks Road

At Banks Road Primary School, we believe every day is a fresh opportunity to learn, grow and shine. Our school day is carefully structured to help children feel safe, settled and ready to succeed.


🕗 Start of the Day – A Calm and Focused Beginning

  • School Gates open at 8:30am
  • Doors open at 8:40am
  • Registration begins at 8:50am

As soon as children arrive, they begin working on daily calculations and fluency tasks. This quiet, purposeful start helps children settle quickly and prepares them for the day ahead.
Please aim to arrive on time—this part of the day is important for building confidence and routine.

Children dive into core subjects like phonics, reading, writing and maths, with plenty of opportunities for discussion, creativity and movement.
