Medicines labelled by the Chemist stating the child's name and dosage can be accepted into school.  This applies always with chronic illnesses,  eg diabetes, epilepsy, asthma, hay fever, and occasionally in short term cases.

When pupils are admitted parents are asked to give a telephone number, if possible, where they may be contacted in the case of illness or other emergency.

 Although there are no meals cooked on the premises most pupils bring packed food and stay at school.  There is close supervision over the lunch break.  Children eat in their classrooms and a high standard of table manners is expected. 

 Application forms for free school meals are obtainable from the school office and should be returned to school when complete.  These meals are provided locally and collected by the children at the beginning of lunchtime.

 You will be aware that skin care and its protection from the sun is receiving an ever higher profile in Health Education nationally.  There are times when children are outside in the Summer, particularly at lunchtimes, for quite long periods.  Whilst we have ample shade from trees children often prefer to be out in full sun.  In high Summer you might like to provide children with appropriate sun creams/sun block and sun hats to protect vulnerable areas.  This would raise awareness of children to the importance of protecting themselves against over exposure.  Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

 Lost property is a time consuming problem, often made worse because items are not clearly labelled with the child’s name.  Please ensure all items of clothing are indelibly marked or have stitched in labels.

 In the interests of safety the following rules apply to all children at all times:

             *          All children must leave school through the pedestrian gate near the 'Lollipop Lady'.

             *          Children should not arrive in the morning more than ten minutes before school  starts.

            *          Ball games are not allowed on the playground.  Children wishing to play ball games may do so on the playing field, weather permitting.

             *          Children with pierced ears may only wear a small stud.  Loops or droplets may not be worn for safety reasons.  Children should not wear rings, necklaces, friendship bracelets or any other jewellery.  Again these present a significant safety risk
