Attendance
Education Regulations (1991)
require schools to carry out careful monitoring of pupil attendance and
punctuality. We ask parents to support us, knowing that lessons start punctually
at 9.00 am for the Nursery, Reception and Year 1 and at 8.45 am for the older
children. However, please do not bring your children into school more than 15
minutes before the school day starts as staff need time to prepare. If this
presents a problem for you, please talk to Dr. Drake to make special arrangements.
Uniform
A lot of effort (and trial and
error!) has gone into making our uniform both practical and comfortable to
wear, and enjoyable to the children. School Uniform is compulsory and is sold
in school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please either make an appointment with
Mrs. Sykes or fill up a Uniform form which is by the telephone in the Front
entrance and put it in the "Uniform order box" above with cheque or cash.
- Each child should change into "Indoor
shoes" (black plimsolls or blue Doodles)
when they arrive in school. They are kept in their shoe bag, clearly labelled on the outside.
- Outdoor shoes should be easy for children to
manage on their own: Velcro or easy buckle fastenings, rather than laces,
will encourage independence for the younger children.
- Our uniform is comprised of a polo shirt and
sweatshirt showing our school shield, grey trousers/skirt and a grey
duffle coat in winter or blue shorts/skirt, blue anorak or fleece in summer. A lightweight raincoat is also available.
- A protective overall is provided for craft
work.
- School swimming costumes, bags, goggles and
caps, sports clothes and leotards are also required.
- Please mark and maintain all clothes clearly
with your child's name.
- There is a school hat and scarf for the
colder months and a sun hat for summer.
- Second-hand uniform is available twice
yearly.
- We suggest you change from summer to winter
uniform and vice versa when the weather is appropriate, rather than fixed,
dates.
Parking
Please park in the side roads if
possible and please respect our neighbours'
entrances. In the interest of safety double parking is naturally forbidden.
