Drop-off and collection

At the beginning and end of the school day, parents are welcome into the playground. This helps to build up a close relationship between home and school. Children are also welcome to walk home on their own if parents believe it is safe for them to do so. If the arrangement for your child’s collection at home time has to be altered, please let the office know. This avoids any confusion or upset.

Any child who is not met by an adult at the end of the school day, and is not expected to walk on their own, is taken back into the school by the teacher on duty to wait in the reception area. The office staff will then contact the parents or carers.

Getting to school

To get to and from school, walking is definitely the best option! There are lots of benefits: it’s healthier than travelling by car, it is better for the environment, it improves the safety of pedestrians and road-users, and it respects nearby residents and parking regulations. We have bike-racks available for children to leave bikes and scooters. If you do need to travel by car, please park wisely.
