When children arrive at school they should go directly to their outside classroom door where their teachers will be ready to receive them. In the interests of your child’s safety please would you let us know, in writing, if your child is to go home from school in any way that is different from normal. In an emergency you can telephone school to let us know any change of arrangement.
Parents are asked to inform the school as soon as possible if a child is unable to attend. This can be done by telephone, letter or via another parent.
If you change your address/telephone number/emergency contact number please inform the School Office as soon as possible.
Please visit the Hampshire County Council website for the school holiday dates.
These will be:
We are part of the Government’s fruit and vegetable scheme and children are provided with a piece of fruit or vegetable daily.
At any time, there are a number of children in school who have a nut allergy so we ask that you do not include nuts of any kind in your child’s packed lunch. This also extends to the use of sun cream in school, please ensure sun cream is nut oil free.
Children need access to water freely throughout the day. Every child will need to bring a named water bottle, but please avoid expensive branded ones. These bottles should be filled with water each day – No juice or flavoured water please!
All children in Year R, 1 and 2 will receive free school meals. If your child has any food intolerances or allergies and you intend for them to have a school dinners, you will need to fill out a Special Diets Request Form. To obtain a form please contact the school office.
School is not the appropriate place for a child who is ill. Please keep your child at home until she/he is well enough to return and for at least 48 hours after sickness or diarrhoea. However we try to be as accommodating as possible and will give medicine to your child if:
A medicine authorisation form, which you will need to complete and sign, is available from the Office. If medication is necessary to regulate a long-term condition, such as asthma or diabetes, we will of course administer it. Please make us aware of your child’s needs.
The school also holds a supply of Calpol. This will be given to children whose parents/carers have completed and returned the permission slip in accordance with the schools administration of medicines policy.
It is essential for us, should an emergency arise, to have some means of contacting either the child’s mother or father, or carer. When your child starts school you will be asked to complete a Data Collection sheet which gives us contact details and the name of your family doctor. Please return this sheet to school as soon as possible. Please ensure that we have an up-to-date telephone number where you can be reached, along with two further contacts for emergencies.
