Times of day
The school prospectus contains further details:
Start: 8:30
Finish: 2:45
We will consult on these opening hours during this year. The government has set targets for opening hours. Our school day is currently 15min shorter than goal, due to shorter lunch and a need to get to secondary schools. Our Teaching time does meet national goals.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT UNAUTHORISED SCHOOL TIME HOLIDAY
If a child of compulsory school age who is a registered pupil at our school, fails to attend regularly, the parent is guilty of an offence under Section 444 Education Act 1996. A holiday penalty notice will be given when a pupil has 5 days or more off school. A fine of £60 will be given. If this is not paid within 28 days it will increase to £120 per parent.

Our Values
School UnifoRms
We only require a logo on a school jumper. This reduces the cost of uniform. Please order the jumper through the office. A PE kit will be provided to you for free.
School Uniform
Our children enjoy the sense of belonging and pride in their school that the wearing of a uniform
brings. All children are therefore expected to wear uniform to school.
Please note that it is your responsibility as parents/carers to make sure that your child is in the
correct uniform each day.
The school uniform for our school is:
Purple school sweatshirt/cardigan – these are purchased from school.
White shirt or polo shirt (from any shop)
Black trousers or knee-length black skirt (from any shop)
Black shoes (from any shop)
Purple & white summer dresses may be worn in the summer term or tailored shorts.
(Price lists are available from the school office or any shop).
We have lots of second hand items you can purchase from the school for a donation.

Our Values
Pupils feel safe at Donnington: September 2022
COVID RIsk assessments 2022
This Risk assessment still form the basis of our outbreak management plan.
Essential Policies
The use of Seesaw has increased parental engagement as parents can see what the children have been learning, as their work is uploaded. Homework tasks will be set which lead on from this and videos/ teaching PowerPoints are available to support pupils and their parents. The parents, pupils and teachers are able to comment on work completed or ‘like’ their work and this is a really important tool for engaging with parents. Likewise, parents can comment on their child’s reading done at home using the online reading record, which allows parents take a photo or identify a smiley face rather than having to feel they need to make a comment. Parents like this as it is non-judgmental.
