• New School Entry system

  Tue 06 Sep 2016 Mrs J Ireland

  To meet school safeguarding regulations we have introduced a new entry system to the school building.  A hatch has been installed in the main school entrance for parents and visitors to speak to office staff. Only authorised visitors will be admitted through to the school reception area.

  Parents dropping off children at the main entrance for breakfast club must not arrive before 8.30am and must register their child with a member of staff at the main school entrance. Parents are not permitted to attend breakfast club with their child.

  Parents waiting to collect their child from after school activities must wait outside the main entrance for staff to dismiss their child at the end of the session.

  This new procedure is to ensure the safety of your child.
