Reminder About Collecting Pupils

Please be reminded that if your child is being collected by somebody other than the parent/carer, you MUST let the admin office know by call or email.

Unsung Hero of the Week

Nazma is our unsung hero this week. She took it upon herself to sort out and tidy the teacher’s planning room and she made the environment spotless, we really appreciate you so much Nazma!

Unauthorised Absences in Term Time

We follow government guidance on term time holidays and we do not authorise pupil holidays during term time. We encourage parents/carers to take their holidays during one of the scheduled holiday breaks.

You can be fined or face legal action for taking your child on holiday during term time.

LATE COLLECTION OF PUPILS

Some pupils are regularly being collected late from the office after school instead of the park. We understand that occasionally parents/carers may unexpectedly be late. However if you regularly arrive late to collect, we will send your child to after school club and you will be expected to pay the £7.50 charge for this club. Thank you for your cooperation.
