Arriving at school
Children in year 1 to 6 can arrive any time from 8.20 to 8.30am. The playground is supervised from 8.20am and children line up at 8.30am ready to go to their classes. Children should not arrive
before 8.20, as they will not be supervised.
Reception doors open at 8.30am, you can bring children in for first few weeks while they are part time. Once they start full time to leave them at the door.

In particular, if your child has had any kind of diarrhoea or vomiting illness they should not return to school for
48 hours from the last episode, as these illnesses can be very contagious.
My child has a medical appointment during the school day
Where it is not possible to make this outside of school hours, please send a note in to the class teacher in advance. On the day, please sign your child out, using the book in the entrance porch, so that we have accurate records of children on the premises. If you return to school, please sign them back in.
