Collection from school

No exceptions will be made.
School Holidays
Parents will receive details of all school holidays for the academic year in September. It is not acceptable practice to remove children from school outside of official school holidays. It can be very disruptive in the classroom if children go away on holiday in June or at any other time of the year and we appeal to parents to co-operate with the school policy on this matter.
A child must never leave the classroom without their teacher’s permission.
A child must never leave the playgrounds without the permission of the class teacher or school principal.
A note is absolutely essential when a child has to leave the school early, as the parents then accept responsibility for the child’s safety. Alternatively parents may use the sign out book at reception.
A child who has to leave early for an appointment or an examination should be collected from the classroom by the parents or an adult known to the teacher acting on their behalf.
