School Opening Hours 

Longshaw Primary Academy operates a 33-hour and 20-minute school week for all pupils Reception - Year 6. 

The school day begins at 8:40am and ends at 3:30pm 

There are 188 school days per year, with two sessions per day. 

 

Flexi-Start

A smooth and stress-free start to the day is essential for the children’s wellbeing and development.  In order to support parents who have more than one child in school and to ease congestion outside the school, we offer a flexible system in the mornings where children can enter school between 8.40 and 8.50am.

Each morning there will be a member of staff on the door to welcome your child into school and to take any messages for the class teacher or school office.  These will be passed on immediately and addressed by the relevant staff members at the earliest opportunity.
