It is expected that children will be collected from school each day. If for any reason you or the person who usually collects your child cannot be there please let school know, either by telling the class teacher or contacting the office, as we cannot let children leave without authorisation from you. Children should not be left unattended to play after school ends.
Induction Arrangements
The parents of all pupils will be notified by the Local Education Authority whether their child has a place or not, usually by the half term break preceding the term that the child starts school.
Prior to your child starting school they will be invited into the school for several sessions. This enables your child to become familiar with the school, its staff and the routines. A meeting for parents will be arranged prior to the children starting school full time. We will inform parents of induction arrangements at the earliest possible convenience.
The children learn through play and through more formal activities and we aim to provide a happy, friendly and caring environment where this can take place.
