Keeping your child safe on line

REMINDER

If you are visiting the school, even for a short amount of time e.g. to sign your child in or out, please ensure that the gate is closed behind you. Thank you.

Lateness

Reminder – we allow a 10 minute grace period following the start of the day to account for traffic etc. however we ask that parents do not rely on this extra 10 minutes, and try to arrive promptly for the start of the day. The poster below outlines some of the reasons that punctuality is important for pupils.

Please also remember that if your child is arriving AFTER 9AM they must be accompanied to the office by an adult to sign them in.

Rights Respecting School

As a Rights Respecting School, we focus each month on a particular Article from the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child. Assemblies, Circle time and class activities are based on these Rights. In connection with these, we also have a Value of the Month. Together, the Rights & Values encourage our learners to be respectful of each other, safe, and to be the best they can be.

Right of the Month for December

You have the right to a proper house, food and clothing.  Governments must help families who cannot afford to provide this.  (Article 27)
