FAQs

What time is the school day?

We have a staggered start and finish. The doors open between 8.40am and 8.50am with children expected to be in the classroom by 8.50am ready to start their learning. School finishes between 3.20pm and 3.30pm. 

What do I do if my child is late for school?

If your child is late for school, even by a few minutes, it is vital that you go to the School Office.  This is not just so that we can monitor punctuality, but is essential for fire safety and security. 

How do I report my child's absence from school?

 Please telephone the school on 01322 663792 as soon as possible and on each day of your child’s absence from school; we have a dedicated answering service where you can leave a message. You can also email absence@hextable-primary.kent.sch.uk.   It is very important that you let us know your child’s symptoms so that we can monitor any possible epidemics.   

Are there clubs for my child to attend? 

We run a large number of activities both at lunchtime and after school for the children to take part in. You can find the timetable and more information on our 'clubs' page. You are able to book using our SchoolCloud booking system SchoolCloud - Hextable Primary School. 

Do you have a school uniform?

We encourage all of our pupils to wear school uniform and take pride in a school identity. Uniform can be purchased online from https://www.brigade.uk.com/parents/school/HE8766PD/ or from the BTS shop in Swanley. 

What if something gets lost?

Please make sure all clothing is clearly marked with your child’s name so that it can be returned if found. You can ordered labels from  www.nametags4u.co.uk . 

What do I do if I need to see a teacher?

Teachers are normally available for brief enquiries after school. If you need a longer appointment, please contact your child's teacher or the office staff who will be happy to arrange this for you.
