Key Information
Behaviour in School
We expect the highest standards of behaviour from all children. Good behaviour is acknowledged and celebrated in many ways e.g. tokens, assemblies and whole class rewards. Unacceptable behaviour is always challenged and serious incidents are logged. For further details and our behaviour policy please see our school website.
Your support in this process is vital and welcomed by the teaching staff.
Car Parking and Road Safety
Road Safety is a major concern in the area around our school. If you have to drive to school, please make sure that you park legally and with consideration for our neighbours.
Pupil Medication
Children should not bring any medication into school, unless by prior arrangement.
All medicines must be clearly named and the dose stated. This support is provided through staff good will, it is not a statutory requirement. Parents are ultimately responsible for overseeing medication.
Parent Volunteers
The school always warmly welcomes volunteers to help in classes. Vetting and Barring checks can be organised for those interested.
