School Opening Times

The School Day, Term-time:

• Reception to Year 6 (8:35 soft start) 8.50am – 3.20pm (6 hours 30 minutes per day to provide 32.5 hours each week during term-time)
• Nursery - (8:35 soft start) 8.50am -3:10pm for Nursery*

Parents are requested not to allow children to be on the premises before 8.35am.  Once the gates open at 8:35am, you may bring your child to their classroom. 

School gates open for pick-up at 3:00 pm. Please wait at the designated pick-up point in the infant playground to meet your child. 

If you are delayed for pick-up contact the school as soon as possible and your child will be taken to the school office to wait.

It is VERY IMPORTANT to inform the school by EMAIL message (not just phone call) if you have arranged for someone else to collect your child.  If an adult unknown to staff arrives to collect your child, they will be asked to wait at the office until you have been contacted and given your permission.  Please also let your child know who they should expect to collect them at the end of the day.   

The School office email is office@st-josephs.islington.sch.uk and our telephone number is 0207 272 1270.
