In an effort to promote healthy eating, we only allow fruit, vegetables and healthy cereal bars to be brought into school for morning playtime. Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 receive a free piece of fruit each day. Milk is also available free of charge for under-fives. Parents of children over five who wish to pay for milk for their child can do so by contacting CoolMilk
Parents should inform the school office by telephone by 9am if their child is absent from school and give the reason why. They should then send a note in on return to school stating the reason for absence.
Attendance is monitored closely, if a pupil’s attendance falls below 85% a standard letter from school will be sent home, to make parents aware that their child’s attendance is being monitored and continued absence may result in referral to the Local Authority if attendance does not improve.
(This does not apply to children with long term or chronic medical conditions who may have a lot of time off school).
Please refer to our Attendance policy
