Absence from school needs an e-mail or written explanation, or a note to the Class Teacher on the day the child returns to school.  A phone call is required if your child is absent.  If no message is received an unauthorised absence is recorded. 

Should your child become unwell during school time, you will be contacted immediately.  For this reason, it is essential that two telephone numbers are shown on your child’s Admission Form, one for your home and the other, either for your place of work, your mobile or for a friend or relative who will collect your child from school.  These numbers should be updated at regular intervals.  Please always notify the School Office and the Class Teacher of any changes.

A child on medication may bring the medicine to school.  This MUST be left in the School Office only, at the start of the day.  A small container, with just enough medicine for the day is preferable to a full bottle.  Medicine MUST be clearly labelled with your child’s name, with clear instructions for it to be administered.  We also require written permission from the parent to give the medication.  The Class Teacher needs to know the times for medicines to be given.

The school has a kitchen and a dining-room.  Hot lunches only are provided for all children. Provision is made for some special diets eg: vegetarian.  If your child requires a mid-morning break, only a piece of fruit or vegetables are allowed.  (No chocolates, sweets, crisps etc). 

Homework is given daily.  Reading and written work need the parent’s signature to confirm the homework has been done.
