Reception - Year 4

The School Day

Morning assembly is taken each day either by the Headmistress of Bellan House, the School Chaplain or the Headmaster. Children are expected to wear the school uniform, which is simple and practical.

At 10.30am the School provides a drink of milk or water for every child. Fruit is offered to eat during morning break.

Lunches, prepared on the premises by our school catering staff, are supervised by teachers and taken in our dining room, which doubles as an activity room. The cost of lunch is included in the school fees. Children with special diets are catered for e.g. individually prepared meals for acute allergy sufferers. From the age of 6, they have a choice of main meals and puddings, but are encouraged to choose a varied diet, with fresh fruit and vegetables served daily.

High standards of work and behaviour are expected from the children. Discipline is consistent and gentle, yet firm. The School is divided into two houses – Swallows and Amazons – and children are encouraged to gain house points, awarded for good behaviour and work.
