Stonesfield School is organised in such a way as to provide the maximum time for learning across a balanced curriculum.

In our school the school day officially begins at 8.45am when all children meet their teacher and additional adults who support them with their learning. Gates open at 8.35am and children meet and greet their teachers at the back of school or at the front by the class door.

At Stonesfield, the mornings are given to Mathematics and English. Depending on the year group, the order in which these are taught may vary.

In addition, an assembly is held, where children gather together to discover current events and festivals, sing, celebrate and share their learning.

All of our KS1 and KS2 children have a fifteen-minute break.

All of our children have a break for lunch from 12.00pm through to 1.00pm. Play time and lunchtime staff are trained to support children’s play. There are a wide range of activities for children to enjoy.

At Stonesfield, our afternoons are filled with learning based on the current topic. Subjects taught within these topics include Science, Writing, Geography, History and Art. In addition to these, the children are also taught Design Technology, French, Computing, Technology and Physical Education. Music is taught across the school by an Advanced Skills Music teacher each Thursday.
