We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of pupils and staff and expects all volunteers, staff and coaches to do the same.
On rare occasions it may be necessary to collect your own child or another child early from school. The following safety points must be kept in mind:
- Send an explanatory note to the teacher detailing the reason for early collection and the time you expect to collect her.
- All visitors must report to the secretary’s office on arrival.
- The adult collecting them must sign out all children. The signing out book is available in the secretary’s office.
- Parents should never go to the schoolyard to collect a child during playtime.
- If another adult is collecting your child you must let the teacher know in advance. The school will not release a child to another adult unless there is parental permission to do so.
