The School Day

At Southgate Primary School, the school day begins at 8:45 am with morning registration and ends at 3:15 pm. This equates to 32.5 hours per week, including breaktimes but excluding any optional before or after-school activities.

We believe that a structured and consistent daily routine helps pupils feel safe, settled and ready to learn. Below is an outline of a typical day at Southgate Primary School.
