School Day
Our School Day at Ocean.
Children can be dropped off from 8.30am. The pupil entrance door is open at 8.30am and is manned by a member of the Senior Leadership Team or our Pastoral Support Leader. This door closes at 9.00am. If you arrive after this time, you will need to sign your child in at the school office.
Please do note that for the safety of our children, there is no parking available on school grounds between 8.15am and 9am and between 3.10pm and 4pm. However, please let the Academy know if you have a disability and your badge will then be recorded so that you can access the car park.
In the morning, the Academy operates a ‘Drop Off’ zone and parents or carers should drive into this zone, drop off their child and then continue to drive out of the car park using the one way system.

Children in Year 4 are escorted to the front playground by their class teachers, where their parent /carer should wait to greet them away from the doors.
Children in Year 5 exit from their individual classrooms to the front playground.

Year 5 and 6 are permitted to walk home without their parents if permission has been granted by the completion and return of the Walking Home Arrangement form which can be requested from the academy office and will be sent out to new parents at the start of the year. Parents should update these details as necessary.
