Information about the school day

Reminder - Pick Up - Summer Term 2021

If you have not already informed your child's teacher please ensure that you contact the school office before 12 o'clock each day if you need to collect your child early or there is a change in person who is collecting the child.

Your child will not be handed over to anyone unless you have advised the school office/teacher.

If there is any confusion you will be contacted to confirm that the correct adult is collecting your child.

As the children get older it is still vital to advise us of your wishes on how they come to and from school.

If a child is to be collected during the school day, please go straight to the school gate and ring our intercom.

If you are running late to pick up your child please let the school office know so arrangements can be made.

Many thanks
