Timetable of the day

School Organisation

The school day is from 08.45am to 3.15pm- 32.50 hours.

Drop-off and Collection

At 08.45am, the gates open and children make their way to their class for early learning. No parents are allowed on site at drop off.   

Parents are encouraged into the playground at the end of the school day, where staff are available to meet.  Senior staff are available to meet mornings and afternoons, by appointment.  This helps to build up a close relationship between home and school, encouraging effective partnerships.  Please inform the school office if there are any changes when collecting your child. 

Late collection

It is essential that the school knows if there is any change in collection arrangements for your child.  Please ring the school office by 2.30 pm, if someone other than the person known to staff is to collect your child at the end of the day. The school office phone lines are manned between 8.30 am and 4.00 pm during term time.

At the end of the day, any children who have not been collected by 3.30 pm will be taken to the School Office area. 

A late collection charge will then be levied at £5 per 15 minutes.

If you need special access arrangements to the school please email sec1@downsview.croydon.sch.uk

'Celebration Assemblies' take place on Fridays where we celebrate the children who have been spotted doing the right thing, even when they think no one is watching.

School Streets - Please be Aware

The Local Authority have introduced "School Streets" in Biggin Way and Marston Way, which is a restriction on vehicles driving along the road outside the main entrance or behind our school.  The restrictions are operational during term time from 08.00am to 09.30am and 2.00pm to 4.00pm.  Enforcement cameras will record any vehicle driving along Biggin Way during these times and issue a penalty notice.
