IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CHILDREN’S SAFETY & WELLBEING

The children’s safety is of the utmost importance to us, and due to this fact we would like to inform you of the following. We hope you agree this will further enhance their safety.

Since we started locking the gates at home times, the car park is a much quieter and safer place for the children (and you). There is a notice on the gate stating that only staff may use the car park between 8.30 and 9.10 a.m. Unfortunately there are lots of cars entering the car park to drop children off and in doing so this is causing a dangerous environment. I have also had several complaints from parents about this situation. Please note there is NO access for dropping children off in the school grounds in the mornings. This is for the safety of all our children.

Please keep us informed if you cannot collect your child and somebody else is coming for them. Please ring school as early as possible, but certainly before 3.15 p.m., so that the teachers can be informed. We cannot let children go home with other people (friends/family/other parents) unless we have been informed.

If your child needs to get a taxi home, please inform school. If this is a permanent arrangement, please put this in writing, informing us of the taxi company that will be collecting them. If this is just an occasional arrangement, please either send a note or ring school to inform us, please also tell us the taxi company you will be booking. Again please let us know no later than 3.15 p.m.

Please remember to let us know if you change your mobile number.

PARKING - Can we also please remind you to park safely. It is illegal to park on the zigzag lines and we have had quite a few police and PCSO’s passing recently, you don’t want a parking ticket. Please also do not block drives, even if you are only going to be a few minutes. We want to keep good relations with our neighbours.

Can we also please remind parents that dogs are not allowed anywhere on school premises, either inside buildings or on school grounds. Thank you.

INTERNET SAFETY - There is increasing concern over the potential dangers for children using the Internet, Facebook, MSN, etc.

The technology is here to stay – we must learn how to educate the children to use it safely and be aware of the dangers ourselves.

There is an interactive website which explores these dangers. We would therefore encourage you to spend some time with your child over the half term holiday and complete some of the on-line activities from the following website:- www.thinkuknow.co.uk
