For all absences the school requires notification by letter, email or phone call and we ask that you contact the school office on the morning of the first day of absence and each day thereafter.  If your child is unwell and suffers from sickness or diarrhoea, they must not return to school before 48 hours of their last episode. 

Prescribed and non-prescribed medicines will not be administered to children during the school day. If prescribed medication does need to be administered during the school day, we request that parents come to school to give their child the medicine.  Arrangements for children on long term medication are discussed with the Headteacher.

The class teachers are your first point of contact if you have any concerns at all about your child’s emotional well-being. No concern is too small. We want to work in close partnership with you to support every aspect of your child’s well-being and happiness. The class teachers monitor each child in their class and support them in learning to express feelings appropriately and solve problems in a positive, constructive manner. The teaching assistants also support the children by listening, reassuring and supporting them throughout the school day.

Every step is taken to ensure that the children are as safe as possible in school. We welcome parents and visitors to school and ask you to always present yourself at the office. Visitors, helpers and contractors all have to ‘sign in’ and wear an identity badge. We are constantly reviewing our security to prevent unauthorised entry but allow an easy and quick exit in case of emergency. Gates on the outside play area for the younger children are padlocked and the school playground gate is locked when the children are outside. There are movement alarms on outside doors, again so we can look after our children.
