Term dates
Reporting Your Child's Absence:
You must inform the school office if your child will be absent from school before 8.30am and on a daily basis. Absences can either be reported by either emailing [email protected] or calling 430084. When emailing, should you wish to copy in your child's class teacher please do so, however the school office records all absences and as a matter of safeguarding if you have not informed the office, you may be chased for attendance unnecessarily. Unfortunately, teachers do not always have time in the morning to pass on messages received by parents. Please may we remind you that children can be in school from 8.25am BUT must arrive no later than 8.35am. Late Arrivals, will be marked as 'Late' and this will affect your child's overall attendance.
Medical Appointments:
If your child has a medical appointment during the school day, please email the office in advance, so that we can mark their attendance accordingly and make a note that they will be either in later, leaving early or absent during part of the day.
Booking School Dinners:
Deadline to book school dinners is midnight Tuesday, a week in advance. If you forget to book lunch for your child, you will need to send them into school with a packed lunch for that week. Unfortunately, the office cannot process late lunch bookings. Menus and Allergent information can be found on our website.
Polite Reminders:
Please can we ask that your child comes to school with all their belongings, especially packed lunches, coats, books, bags and water bottles. We want to try and build independence for your child (and they may need your help in doing so) and it will really help them (and us) if ALL items from home are remembered in the mornings.
Please label ALL your children's belongings. In the event of them losing an item, it will enable a better chance of it being to you or your child.
Please note and remember, we are a NUT free school.
