To assist the flow of traffic there are three gates from which you can enter the school: the ‘Foundation’ gate, the ‘Year 6’gate and the ‘Main’ gate. Parents of children in Foundation to Year 4 are requested to enter the school via one of the gates and to escort their child to the classroom. Children in Years 5 & 6 may be dropped off at any of the gates to walk into school.
At the end of the day all children should be collected directly from the classroom.
If your child is leaving school with an adult, other than yourself, then the class teacher must be updated at the start of the school day. This can be done via a variety of methods. In Foundation and Key Stage One each class has a “pick-up book” where details can be entered. For all other classes a note in your child’s home work diary would suffice. Should arrangements change during the day in case of emergency please telephone the school reception.
There are designated parking places located around the school site and in the sand car park at the front of the school. Any unsafe parking, drop-off or pick-up practice will attract the attention of the staff on duty. Please respond positively to their requests as the safety of the children is paramount in this matter.
When children leave the school site at the end of their school day, they are then the sole responsibility of the parents/guardians and are no longer the responsibility of the school.
What to do if you’re late for ‘drop off’ or ‘collection’
If you arrive at school late in the morning, please drop your child in
class and then go to the primary reception to register your child.
If you are going to be unavoidably delayed in collecting your child at
the end of the day please contact the primary school office as soon as
possible.
If children leave school or return during the school day please go to primary reception to sign them in/out.
