Safety before and after school
Parents are asked to ensure that appropriate arrangements are made at the beginning and end of every school day to ensure the continued safety of all pupils. Infant pupils are not permitted to go home alone. Parents who request that infant pupils walk home alone must do so in writing. Traffic congestion and dangerous parking can threaten the safety of our pupils. Please exercise vigilance when parking vehicles and ensure cars do not enter the car park, crossing the pedestrian access. Our safety record is excellent and we rely on you as parents to maintain this.

Children attending after school activities will be informed about the time the activity is likely to end so that parents may make alternative arrangements for collection. When activities are cancelled we will endeavour to make certain parents have 24 hours notice.

A before school club Breakfast Club runs from 7.30 a.m. until 8.45 a.m.
An after school club After School Club runs from 3.25 until 5.45 pm.
