The start and finish times are slightly staggered to help with congestion due to the number of parents coming onto the site.
When collecting your child from school, please note the following:
Named adults: We need to know if your child is being picked up by someone other than the parent or other person on the agreed collection list, if this is not the normal arrangement. We ask you to notify the school office if you know in advance that this will be the case (via the app, email or by telephone). However, in the case of an emergency, please telephone the school office directly and do not rely on other forms of communication. You will appreciate the need for us to be most careful in this matter for safeguarding reasons. No one under the age of 16 can collect a pupil unless a prior agreement has been made.
End of the day: A one-way system is in operation for entering and leaving the site at the end of the school day to avoid children walking out through the car park. At the end of the day, all parents must enter the school site through the top gate by the church, sticking to the path where possible. All parents must walk through the school playground and leave the school site through the KS2 gate by the bungalow.
Collection from classrooms: At the end of the school day, all children should be collected from their classroom doors, which open onto the playground. If parents/carers are unavoidably delayed, the child/children will be taken to the office to wait in the main foyer. However, children must be picked up on time because we cannot always guarantee that a member of staff is available long after the end of the school day to supervise them.
Late collections: If parents are regularly more than 10 minutes late collecting their child and have not informed the school, we will charge the cost of employing a member of staff to supervise the child – this will either be via ParentPay if school staff are required or via the Care Club if your child needs to be placed there.
Pupils walking home: Pupils in Year 5 and Year 6 may walk home unaccompanied, but a consent form must be filled in and signed by a parent/carer.
