If your child arrives after 8.50am, they will be marked as late. An adult must bring them to the school office, where they will be signed in and registered before going to class.

Dropping Off Your Child

For the safety of all children:

  • Please take your child directly to their classroom door and hand them over to a member of staff.
  • Children should not be left unattended in the playground at any time.
  • Infant-aged children must not arrive at school unaccompanied.

  • Children must be collected promptly at the end of the school day by a parent, carer or authorised person aged 16 years or over. If another adult is collecting your child, please inform the school office in advance.
  • If you know that you will be delayed, please contact the school office as soon as possible.
  • Any child who has not been collected by 3.30pm will be taken to the school office, where they will remain supervised by staff while we contact parents, carers and emergency contacts.
  • For safeguarding reasons, children will only be released to adults authorised by a parent or carer.
