Illness
We will not send children home for minor symptoms unless they have been prolonged and the child is

distressed. Young children can, however, feel unwell very quickly during the school day. If a child is so
unwell that they cannot continue in school, we will contact parents. If a child becomes ill with certain
contagious diseases, we will seek advice from our School Nurse and advise when a safe return to school is
possible.

Medical Appointments
Although we realise that some medical appointments are unavoidable in school time, please
try not to disrupt your child’s learning frequently. All children need to be collected from the

school office for these appointments and parents will be asked to sign out their child. If
possible, your child should return to school after their appointment. School must be informed
in advance of all appointments.

love of livelong learning. The school is divided into three phases:

Children are dismissed from their classroom doors at the end of the day. Each cohort share toilets and
classrooms have their own cloak areas. The LAB is also on the ground floor and has direct access to its own
outdoor area and accessible toilet.

Key Stage 1 Leader: Miss Pearce

Key stage 2

Key Stage 2 children enter the building via the KS2 door and all their
classes are on the first floor. If your child is collected at the end of the
day, they will be dismissed from the KS2 door. Children who have
consent to walk home alone will be dismissed separately.

Acting Key Stage 2 Leader: Miss Clarke

The building also offers a hygiene room, two Learning Resource Centres, a
number of Small Group Rooms, a Main Hall, a Dining Hall and a Multi
Purpose Community Room.

Morning Club

Our 'Morning Club' is new for September 2017. Within this we will be offering a breakfast of toast and fruit
in the Community Room and a range of activities in the Main Hall. This way we are hoping we can extend
