Children arriving between 8:45 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. will be recorded as late. Children arriving after 9.30 a.m. are recorded as late after the register has closed - this becomes an unauthorised absence. Lates are monitored by both the Headteacher and the governing body. Persistent lateness to school is treated seriously and families will be contacted personally.
All late children must be signed in at the office. This is part of our Health and Safety procedures.
School Closures
Should the school have to close, for example in the case of heavy snow, we will contact you via message on our PIOTA app and email, so please ensure that we have your correct contact details.
Water bottles
We have water coolers available for your child should they need a drink, and we request that ALL children come to school with a water bottle. Water bottles are available from the school office for £1.
Absence due to illness
If your child is poorly and you feel that they are too ill to attend school, please ring the school first thing in the morning, choose option 1, and leave a message stating your child's name, class, and what is the matter with them.
Contact details
If you change your phone number, email address, or move house, it is important that you let school know immediately in case we need to contact you in emergency, and also so that you don't miss out any important information we may need to send to you. Please contact the school office with any change of personal details.
Medicine in school
If your child has been prescribed medicine that needs administering in school time you will need to fill out a medicine consent form at the school office. All medicine must have been administered already, and must clearly show the prescription label, date, and dosage.
Dentist / doctor appointments
If you need to make an appointment for your child at either the doctors or the dentist, please can you ensure the appointment is made outside of school hours so as not to disrupt your child's learning.
Fruit in school
All KS1 and Early Years children receive one piece of fruit a day free, regardless of whether they are entitled to free school meals. We encourage the parents of KS2 children to send their child to school each day with a piece of fruit to eat at snack time.
