7/30/2019 Safeguarding Update Booklet
1/2
Whilst we understand that some children are still anxious about you leaving
them at morning drop-off, we strive to develop independence in all children by
asking parents to drop them at the classroom doors where possible. There are
sufficient adults in each class to assis t children.
At the end of the day the gate will be reopened at
3.05pm. Children will not be released from their
classroom until the teacher or a member of staff can
see the adult responsible for collecting them. If you
are delayed please contact the school as soon as
possible to prevent your child from getting upset.
We will keep them safely in school until your arrival. This also applies if your
child is attending an after-school club.
Forgotten Items It is important that your children bring to school the items that they need forthat day, e.g. PE kit, swimming kit, musical instrument, etc. if on occasions they
have forgotten an essential item and you choose to deliver it to school please leave
it in the office reception area for your child to collect.
The governors are concerned by the number of phone calls that Mrs Stubbs is
expected to make to parents when items are forgotten. This practice is
unacceptable and is preventing Mrs Stubbs from undertaking her bursary role
which ensures the smooth running of the school.
Please help us to encourage the children to make sure they are fully prepared
for the day ahead, as these calls will no longer be made.
Thanking you in anticipation of your co-operation in helping us to improve
our security and safeguarding in the best interest of safety for your
children.
School Security and
Safeguarding UpdateNovember 2012
In the interests of safety for the children in school, the governors of the
school have requested that I pass on the following reminders and
information regarding the safeguarding arrangements. I would be
grateful if you could take the time to read this leaflet, as there are
important actions for all members of the school.
