A5. If your child is off school for any reason, please telephone the School Office on the first day of absence and then send a letter in with your child when they return to School explaining the reason for their absence.

Q6. Which is the correct entrance to the school for pupils?

A6. (Headmistress Mrs Thewlis writes) As Headteacher of the school I have a duty of care for all the children. The five bar gate that is Closed every morning is closed to PREVENT adults and children entering the school this way. This entry point is not a thoroughfare. Cars, vans and delivery, people are given set times to come to school but sometimes we are obliged to take deliveries at other times.

Your children are at risk if you do not enter through the correct gate.

At home time a significant number of parents encourage your children to exit through this gate - You are putting your child at risk.

Please do not place your child in danger, do not give them the wrong message about entry / exit gates. I have spoken to the whole school about the gate, please support the school and enter and exit via the correct gate.
