Drop-off

The bell rings at 8:45am, when the children line up. Parents are responsible until this time. 


If you're planning to take your child out of school for an appointment or holiday, please notify us on the forms available from the office. 


If your children is not in school due to illness, please notify us via ParentMail, phone or email, each day of absence. If we haven't heard from you by 9am, we will call, each day of absence. The first hour of a missing child is crucial. 


Ensure we have three people to call in case we can't get hold of you. 


Pick-up 

Children in Years Reception - Year 3 must be matched to a known adult at the end of the day. The Year 4 teacher goes out with the children. Year 5 and 6 are more independent. 

Parents must let us know if their child is being collected by someone else. 

Parents must inform us of their child's bus routine weekly.

We believe that the child's voice is crucial. 


We have an open mind - it could happen here.


Behaviour

Site Security and Health & Safety

Behaviour

We believe that a child's behaviour is their way of communicating with us. 


We understand that children act out situations that they have seen or heard: this includes bullying. 


We recognise that children need to be listened to and taken seriously. 


We use the principles of nurture and natural consequence in order to instil security, boundaries, trust and love. 


We do not want children to conform due to fear; but to make good choices out of respect and love. 


We know that early intervention can change the course of a child's life. 


Everything we do is done with love.

Protective Behaviours 

A huge part of our Personal, Social, Health Education and Relationships and Sex Education is focussed around self-awareness and protective behaviours. 


At the beginning of every year, the children identify the five people whom they can approach if they feel unsafe. 


We teach them the anatomically correct vocabulary to describe their bodies (to safeguard them against anyone disguising abuse through using alternative terminology), appropriate to their age and stage; we focus on 'if it doesn't feel right, it isn't right' and 'no grown up should ever ask you  to keep a secret'. 


Bullying 

We also tackle bullying up front. The children learn about what bullying is (Several Times On Purpose - STOP) and the root cause behind bullying behaviour. Bullying is not tolerated and dealt with swiftly - by unpicking the reason why the child bullying is doing it. We then work with both children to rebuild their relationship and their own self-esteem.

Social Media 

Each year, we seek parental permissions for a whole host of things to keep your children safe and well. 

One of these is whether we can use digital images of your children on our social media. 


We ask that parents respect the wishes of their peers when taking photographs or filming their own children. Please keep these for your own memories - but do not share them on your own social media if they include other children. 


We would also advise that you avoid publishing photos with the school logo (for example on uniform) or recognisable landmarks near your home.
