School starts at 9:00 am each day and all pupils will be ready to pick up in the afternoon at 3:15pm each day. You can view detailed timings for each group on The School Day information page.

There are a few occasions such as end of term days where the pick up time maybe be earlier. All of these occasions are listed on our comprehensive events listings to be found on the Home page & also on the News & Events page...

There are times when parents are late collecting their child from school, if this is going to happen we ask that school is informed and the expected delay is given If a child is not collected and no reason is given they will go to Out of School Club and be charged in accordance with their charging policy. If a child is still not collected, Children’s Social Care will be contacted..

If you need someone else to come to school to collect your children please speak to the class teacher in the morning or leave a message with Mss Mercy in the office. Each child has a data overview sheet with people who are allowed to collect them.

We encourage children to bring a healthy lunch to school which could include items such as fruit, vegetables, pasta or rice salads, yoghurts. We ask that children do not bring nuts to school as some children in school have allergies. hot drinks and soup is not permitted.

We are a healthy school and we ask that children do not bring cakes, sweets or treats into school.

School uniform is available to buy from the school, please contact Miss Mercy for futher directions...

We ask that pupils do not wear jewellery in school. Small stud earrings can be worn but these must be removed by pupils on PE days. If your child can not remove their own earrings we ask that they do not wear them. Schools are busy places and we find that jewellery can cause unnecessary accidents.

If your child needs to have medication at school you must complete a form at the school office. We ask that medication at school is kept to a minimum and if antibiotics are prescribed for less than four times a day we suggest this can be organised out of school time. All medication held on school premises is kept locked and secure.

We ask that children remain at home until they are well enough to return to school. Sickness and stomach bugs – we ask that children remain at home for 24 hours after their last bout of illness to ensure that infections do not spread.

All Teaching Assistants are first aid trained and can offer reassurance and first aid to pupils who are injured at school. If the injury is significant we would inform parents and appropriate first aid would be given and of course any serious injury we would involve the medical services as soon as possible.

We ask that parent support pupils by reading at home and practicing times tables and number facts. We also ask that you familiarise yourself with your son or daughters class page where you can find all the information out about the class teacher and teaching assistant. We welcome parent helpers in school (please speak to Miss Mercy if you are interesting in becoming a parent volunteer)

Parents can book an appointment to meet the respective teacher via the Contact page on our website and share information about how well pupils are doing in class and at home. We hold regular parent assemblies and have a drop in where parents can find out what pupils have been learning in class. We have also added a very informative calendar Event System to our website that will be populated with all major events from term times to day trips, parent evenings and any shows or events that pupils and or parents are going to be involved in.
