  • Ensure good attendance, punctuality and correct uniform is worn at all times
  • Inform the school on every day of absence
  • Ensure the correct equipment and kit is brought to school each day
  • Encourage the completion of homework and provide other opportunities for learning at home.Ā  For more information about how you can support your child please visit our Homework page

Safeguarding

In order to keep children safe and provide appropriate care for them, the school requires parents to provide accurate and up to date information regarding:

  • Full names and contact details of all adults with whom the child normally lives
  • Full names and contact details of all persons with parental responsibility (if different from above)
  • Emergency contact details (if different from above); wherever possible school will hold more than one emergency contact for each child
  • Full details of any other adult authorised by the parent to collect the child from school (if different from the above)

  • Please contact the school immediately and speak to the relevantĀ Pastoral Leader
  • Ask your child directly if they are being bullied
  • Take bullying seriously
  • Please do not agree to keep bullying secret
