School Day/Routine

The school day runs from 8.45am to 3.15pm each day. This amounts to 6h 30m per day and 32h 30m each week.

This is a typical day at Thorncombe St Mary's CE Primary Academy.

The school gates are opened from 8:30-8:45 where they are greeted by a member of staff who can note down any key information from the parents for that day. The children go into class ready for a 8:45 start.
