Getting to School
Walking
We strongly encourage all of our pupils, where possible, to travel to school on foot. There are a number of safe walking routes that you and your children can take in order to get to school.
Bikes and scooters
We have storage racks for bicycles and scooters. Children travelling to school on a bicycle must wear a helmet. We do not allow bicycles or scooters to be ridden in the school grounds for the safety of everyone.
Driving
If you need to come by car please park in the street as the school car park is for staff and visitors only. Please remember to park safely and respectfully away from drives and corners. There is a pathway into school by the side of the car park for the safety of pedestrians. Please use this pathway to access the school office and school entrance.
Please note that dogs, except assistance dogs, are not permitted on site. Thank you for your understanding with this matter.
Arriving late to school
It is important that children arrive on time, as the first part of the morning is dedicated to phonics. If your child misses this short but vital session, it may affect their learning for the rest of the day.
Late arrivals can be disruptive to the class and may also cause your child unnecessary embarrassment.
Please note that arrival after the close of registration may be marked as an unauthorised absence, in line with guidance from the Department for Education.
Term Time - Leave of Absence
We are always concerned about the amount of school time pupils miss as a result of family holidays. There is no automatic entitlement to time off during term time. Leave of absence will only be granted where the Headteacher considers there to be exceptional circumstances. In making a decision, they will take into account the nature of the event for which leave is requested, the frequency of the request, whether advance notice has been given, and the pupil’s attainment, attendance record and ability to catch up on missed learning.
Parents wishing to apply for a leave of absence must complete a Request for Leave Form, which can be obtained from the School Office. The request will be carefully considered and you will be informed of the decision. You may also be invited to attend a meeting to discuss the request further.
