Hello and welcome to the Crabtree Farm Primary School website.

​

I am incredibly proud to be Head Teacher of Crabtree Farm Primary School and feel extremely fortunate to work with such amazingly talented children, alongside a very dedicated staff team!

​

Crabtree at heart is a very inclusive school that focuses on ensuring that every child is given every chance to achieve their best every day of their school lives. Myself, the teachers, the teaching assistants, and support staff are all very proud of our school community and all it's achievements. We are all confident that whilst you are exploring our website that you will get a sense of just how privileged we are to be able to work with hundreds of young people every single day!

​

If you would like to visit our school - or simply want to ask us a question - please contact our school office. 

The school day begins at 9:00am. The school gates open at 8:50am. Children should go straight to their classroom doors, where their teaching team will greet them. Children will then have time to settle and complete a morning task, so they are ready for the register and to start learning at 9:00am.

​

Once inside the children can hang up coats and bags on the correct hook before going into the classroom. The hooks are labelled so that every child has his or her own space. It is very helpful if both the coat and the bag have been labelled with the child's name in case it gets 'lost'.

Children who attend afternoon nursery arrive at 12:15 pm when classroom doors are opened to welcome and settle children, so they are ready to start learning at 12:25 pm.

There is a morning break of 15 minutes.

​

Early Years children and KS1 children are provided with milk and fruit daily. KS2 children are offered milk and fruit several times a week.

We encourage children to follow healthy lifestyles and towards this goal, sweets. crisps and fizzy drinks are not allowed in school. All children are encouraged to bring in a named water bottle each day.

​

All children have one hour for lunch, split into thirty minutes for eating and thirty minutes outside.

​

Early Years Centre 11:45 am - 12:50 pm

Years one to two 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Years three to six 12:15pm - 1:15 pm

​

Children going home for lunch should be back at school five minutes before the start of the afternoon session.

​

The school day finishes at 12:00 pm for children that attend morning nursery, 3:25 pm for children that are in Early Years and 3:30 pm in years one to six.

Parents/carers are asked to wait outside the classroom and children will be sent out.

​

Early Years parents/carers are invited into the Early Years Centre to collect their child from class. Children in years four to six may walk home.

​

All parents/carers should be aware that children in Early Years and years one, two and three should not be collected by anyone under the age of 16 years. There are circumstances where, if prior consent (ideally written) is provided by the parent/carer, a young person can collect a pupil from school.
