Life at Don De Dieu

A safe, joyful place to grow every day

School life at Don De Dieu is more than lessons. It is friendship, play, good food, caring teachers and a family atmosphere that helps children feel at home.

Our daily routine

Each school day is carefully planned to balance learning, play and rest. Children arrive in the morning, settle into their classrooms and start the day with greetings, prayer and a short warm-up activity.

Class time includes literacy, numeracy, creative work and life skills. Between lessons, learners enjoy short breaks to relax, use the playground and share snacks.

Meals and food at school

We know that a hungry child cannot concentrate. At Don De Dieu School, learners have access to food at school so that they can stay focused and energetic throughout the day.

Food arrangements are organised with parents at the beginning of the term. We encourage healthy, child-friendly meals and clean drinking water for all learners.

School meals

Meals are available at school so that learners do not have to go home hungry. Details of the menu and contribution are shared with parents.

Snacks & water

Short snack breaks during the day help children recharge. We encourage healthy snacks and ensure access to safe drinking water.

Parent–school agreement

Details about meals (menu, cost, special diet) are agreed together with parents so that every child is well cared for and families are comfortable with the plan.

School transport

We understand that distance and safety are important for families. For this reason, school transport can be arranged for learners on selected routes.

Transport is provided based on agreement between the parents and the school. This includes which routes are covered, pick-up and drop-off points, and the contribution towards transport costs.

How transport works
  • Available on selected routes agreed by the school and parents.
  • Clear pick-up and drop-off times are communicated to families.
  • Children are supervised when boarding and leaving the vehicle.
  • Spaces may be limited – early booking is encouraged.
For more information about routes and availability, please contact the school office.

School life at Don De Dieu is full of small moments that help children grow in confidence, creativity and character.

Creative activities

Drawing, colouring, singing, dancing and role-play are part of the weekly routine, helping children express themselves and build confidence.

Play & games

Outdoor play and simple sports give learners time to move, have fun and develop teamwork and coordination.

Pastoral care

Teachers and staff pay attention to each child’s wellbeing, giving encouragement, guidance and support throughout the school day.

Parents as partners

Good school life depends on strong partnership between the home and the school. We keep close communication with parents through meetings, messages and reports.

We encourage parents to share concerns, celebrate achievements and walk with us as we guide children in their learning journey from Nursery to Primary and beyond.
