Travelling to School

The school car park is for staff use only. There is on-road parking on the roads surrounding the school and we always ask our parents to be courteous to our school neighbours. we kindly ask that you follow our voluntary one-way system.

**Arriving at School**

The school gates open at 8:35 until 8.55 am. Classroom doors open at 8:45 am when staff will be on duty to greet the children. Parents are responsible for supervising their children before they enter the school from 8.45 am. Any child arriving after this time must enter the school through the Main Reception with an adult and sign in or out at the office using the online InVentry system.

We ask parents and carers to avoid having conversations with staff before school starts unless they need to share essential information regarding their child's welfare or safety. This will help ensure that the teaching day begins promptly. If you need to discuss your child's learning or classroom experience, please email or call the school office, and the designated staff member will contact you.

You must contact the school office each morning your child is absent to inform us of their absence. This should be done before 8.50 am. The school has an answering machine to record messages, or you can submit an absence form on WEDUC. All absences are recorded in a computerised system, and each absence must be accounted for and authorised by the Headteacher.

**Leaving School at the End of Each Day**

At the end of the day, the gates are unlocked from 3.10 until 3.35 pm children should collect their belongings from the cloakrooms and meet their carers outside the classroom door. Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 (KS1) pupils are only allowed to leave their classrooms if their parent or carer is present; they must be personally handed over to them. If staff do not recognise the adult collecting a pupil, they will not release them. Please inform us if there are any changes regarding who will meet your child.

Key Stage 2 (KS2) pupils are reminded that they must return to school immediately if they are not met.
