RIGHT ON TIME...  It is important that children should not arrive at School before 8.50 a.m. as we are not able to supervise them before this time.  All children in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 are expected to stay in school for lunch.  If children in Key Stage 2 go home for lunch, please ensure that they do not return to School before 1.05pm.

ABSENCES

If your child is absent from School because of illness or any other reason, please let us know by telephone as soon as possible.
If you are unable to telephone, please contact us in person or send a letter to the School as soon as possible.  School does not authorise holidays in term time. If you do not contact us, a telephone call will be made asking you the reason for the child’s absence.  The School has a legal duty to record all absences and to determine whether they are authorised or unauthorised.

If your child has vomited either at home or at school, you must allow 48 hours without sickness before returning to school.

Please ensure that we have up to date contact details for you and your child and notify the Office of any changes immediately.

CHILDREN LEFT AT SCHOOL

The school has a policy for children who are left in school after the end of a school session. If a child is not collected for lunch; after 10 minutes they will be given a school lunch and a charge will be made. If a child is not collected at home time; after 10 minutes contact will be made with home. If a child is not collected 30 minutes after the school day ends and we have had no contact with you, the Local Authority are contacted.
