We ask parents to ensure that children do not come to school before 8.30 am as from that time the playground is supervised by a member of staff.

A request to withdraw a child during a school session must be made either in writing or by personal visit. If a child is going to be absent from school, we ask parents to notify the school on the morning of the absence providing information about the reasons for this absence. If a child is absent after the registers have been closed, parents will be contacted by the school asking about the reasons for the absence.
