Children are welcome in their classrooms from 8.40, and ‘early work’ is always available to provide a calm and purposeful start to the day. All children should be in their classrooms, ready to begin their learning, by 8.50.

At the end of the school day, children should be collected from their classroom door at 3.10. Children from year 3 upwards can go home by themselves if we have permission from parents/carers.

Bring your child to school on time.  Arriving late can mean that your child misses important information about the lesson.  It can also be embarrassing for your child and is disruptive for the class.

If your child is unwell please call the school office before 9:30am to inform them that your child will not be attending school. If your child has sickness and/or diarrhoea please remember that he/she should not return to school until 48 hours has elapsed since the last bout of sickness and/or diarrhoea.

Please send a letter in when your child returns to school.

Parents can arrange to come into school to administer medication to their own children if necessary. Only medicines prescribed by a doctor can be administered by the school.  Antibiotic doses that are administered 3 times a day should be given before and after school and at bedtime. If the medicine is required 4 times a day please ask in the office for staff to give any additional required dose.  Parents are asked to complete and sign a medication request form. Children with asthma, severe allergies, etc keep their medication in the school; these are given by a First Aid trained member of staff. It is a parents responsibility to keep a check on expiry dates of any medication held in school.

Unfortunately, sometimes children do have accidents or become unwell whilst they are at school and we need to call you.  It can add to your child’s distress if we are unable to contact you.  Please ensure that we have up to date contact telephone numbers for you. You must inform the office immediately if your contact details change.

Please call this direct mobile number 07534 397459 to contact us should you have any concerns.

No holiday will be authorised during term time. Any absences (other than through illness or exceptional circumstances) will be recorded as unauthorised and you may incur a fixed penalty fine.

We welcome parents and carers in school.  If you would like to help, please let us know.

For safety reasons children should not wear any jewellery in school.  However, they may wear a wrist watch and if your child has pierced ears, small studs may be worn. These will need to be removed or covered for PE lessons and if your child goes swimming.

Children should not bring toys, sweets, valuables or money, mobile phones, iPads, iPods etc into school.  We cannot be responsible for children’s property.

No snacks should contact nuts as we are a NUT FREE school.

We have specialist staff members available to help children in their acquisition of English as an additional language.

School policies are available to download on this website. If you require a paper copy of any policy, these are available on request from the school office.
