Gladstone Primary Academy

The Academy Day

The timings of the academy day are slightly different on each site, to allow parents to drop off and pick up children at both sites.

Drop-off times can be very busy, especially if you are driving to school. We ask parents to park responsibly and respect the yellow zig-zag lines outside each site. These restrictions help keep all children safe. There is a large car park next to the Bourges Boulevard site, and it is easier to park here and walk your child to the school gates.

Timing of the school day:

Gladstone Street Site
(Reception and Year 1)

Start of the day

Gates open 8:35 am
Gates close 8:45 am


End of the day

Gates open 3:05 pm

Bourges Boulevard Site
(Years 2 to 6) 

Start of the day

Gates open 8:45 am
Gates close 8:55 am


End of the day

Gates open at 3:15 pm


Children arriving after the gates have closed are late and are missing learning time.

Both sites have a school week of 32.5 hours.
