School Times and Important Dates

At The Winterton Federation, across both our schools, we offer a soft start approach to registration, where the pupils can come into school during a 10-minute window, which helps support our parents to bring their pupils at a suitable time, gives the pupils access to more learning opportunities and allows our pupils to enjoy their free bagel breakfast.  We stagger the closing times for both schools in order to support our parents who have pupils attending both schools.

Winterton Junior School’s opening and closing times:

Monday – Friday
School opens at 8:45am every day for a soft start with an official registration time of 8:55am.
School closes at 3:30pm every day.
This equates to 32.9 hours a week from the official registration time.

This equates to 33.75 hours a week from the soft start we offer.

Winterton Church of England Infant School’s opening and closing times:

Monday – Friday
School opens at 8:40am every day for a soft start with an official registration time of 8:50am.
