Fixed Penalty Notice
Regrettably, we have had to make our first fixed penalty notice referral for taking children out of education during term time. Our policy is not to authorise requests for leave during term time unless there are exceptional and unavoidable circumstances. If you are considering taking your child out of school during term time please call into school and speak to a member of the admin staff who will be more than happy to provide a copy of the Learning Community Policy and provide advice and guidance regarding these government guidelines.
Gate/Doors Opening & Closing Times
Doors to Foundation Stage 2 & Main School open at 8.50am (Allowing 10 minutes to spend with your child)
All doors close at 9am prompt (All parents/carers should have left the building in order for learning to begin)
Gates to Foundation close at 9.05am and gates to Main school close at 9.10am
Anyone arriving at school after 9am should report to main reception, (even if the doors/gates are still open). If you are unhappy with this situation, we would ask that you discuss your concerns with Mrs Smith. This policy is in place for the safety of your children and is non negotiable.
Strike Day
Strike action is still scheduled to go ahead on Wednesday 26th March and we would urge you to make alternative childcare arrangements as the school will be forced to close on this day. Should there be a change to the planned action we will inform you as soon as possible. Please remember that dinner money for next week will be £7.40.
