School Day Starts

From September 2022 Children enter the school via the playground doors, which are open from 8.45am (children enter school and go to class to be met by their teacher, have time to read or complete next steps in learning). The doors will remain open until 8:55am. 

The playground is supervised by adults from 8.45am, children should not be on the playground without a parent or carer before this time.

Registration closes at 08:55am. If a child arrives after this time then they should sign in the late book at the main school office. 

If a child needs to leave school for a specific reason during the day, parents or carers should report to the school office to collect their child and ensure they sign out of the building. 

Any child arriving after 08:55am will enter school via the office reception and will remain as (L) Late on the register. Late arrivals after 9.20am will be recorded as ‘late after close of register’ and  is recorded as an unauthorised absence and late for session.

Children that arrive late for school due to medical appointments will remain marked as absent. Medical marks will be recorded as an M when the absences are administered by the Admin Assistant. Medical appointment cards and/ or letters must be shared with the school office.

What is Pupil Premium?

The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated to schools to work with pupils who have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years (known as ‘Ever 6 FSM’).

Online Safety

In school, we teach your children to be SMART:

SAFE – be careful not to give out personal information

MEET – don’t meet up with people who you have only met online

ACCEPTING – Accepting messages from people you don’t know or don’t trust can lead to problems.

RELIABLE – Is the information you are viewing true?

TELL – If you feel unsafe or are worried about what you see or hear, you must tell a trusted adult.

Parent Pay

Online payments to school with ParentPay!

We will now be using a secure service called ParentPay, where we will be working towards no longer accepting cash and cheque payments, making the school a cash-free environment.  Parents who need to continue making payments by cash may do so using the Pay Point network at local convenience stores.
