School Routines

Drop-off

Nursery and Reception parents may bring their child into school. Parents of older children are required to drop off their child at the main school gates on Schoolfield Road or the gates at Flint Street where they will be received by a member of staff. Children will be allowed to enter the school site from 8.40am. Children are not permitted to arrive at school before 8.30am as the gates are not supervised. All children must arrive at school by 8.50am as lessons begin at 8.55am.  
 
We operate a strict one-way system around the school site. Parents must enter the school via Flint Street entrance and exit through the main gates on Schoolfield Road. All parents are required to wear a face covering whilst on the school site unless they are exempt. These measures are in place to ensure a safe flow of parents and children and to limit contact between families on the playground. To facilitate this, parents must be prompt when dropping off and collecting their child.
 
In order to minimise the number of people on the school site, only one parent is allowed to drop off and collect their child. Parents are expected to drop off their child and go. Parents are not permitted to wait around on the playground or outside the school gates and they are not permitted to enter their child’s classroom. We expect parents to keep 2 metres apart at all times and ask all parents and pupils to ensure they have thoroughly washed their hands with soap and water before leaving home.  
 

Late Arrivals

Any child arriving after 9.10 am will need to enter school from the front gates in Schoolfield Road. Such children will be marked absent and parents will be asked to complete a ‘Late Arrival Slip’.

Getting to School

We recommend that you and your child walk to and from school. There are many benefits to walking; it is healthier than travelling by car, it improves the safety of pedestrians and road-users and it respects nearby residents and parking regulations.

Cycling to School

Children should not bring bicycles to school without the Headteacher’s permission. Children in Reception to Year 5 are only permitted to cycle to school if accompanied by an adult.

Parking and Safety

If you do need to travel by car, please consider pupil safety when driving in the parent car park. Please show consideration of others when parking your car, both to other parents and the school’s neighbours. Please do not park in the spaces allocated for disabled users, in front of the emergency access gates or in resident parking bays.

Parents are not permitted entry into the staff car park.

Please note: No dogs, except guide dogs, are permitted on the school grounds.
