OCTOBER 2011 - NEWSLETTER

JIHIHJJHHHH

KEEPING SAFE A few recent incidents have highlighted the need to

remind our school community about ‘end of day’

procedures. Although your child/ren may know what is

happening, it is vital that we do too.

1) If your child is signed up to take part in an after

school club, please could you ensure that you inform

the office or relevant member of staff if they are not

attending.

2) If your child is going home with another family,

please inform either the class teacher or the office.

3) If you are taking another parent’s child home,

please let a member of staff know before leaving at

the end of the day – there are always staff on the

lower playground at this time.

4) Bus children – Please could parents ensure that

they are ready to meet their children off the bus when

returning home as it is not the driver’s responsibility

to make sure that they cross roads safely once getting

off the bus.

Thank you for your support with these matters.

PLEASE SHUT THE GATE

We know that mornings and after school can get rather

‘hectic’, however, please could you ensure that the

entrance gate onto the lower playground is closed

behind you.

Also, please take care in the car park – another staff

member has had their car ‘scraped’ recently, which

wasn’t directly reported. If you are ‘blocked in’,

please come and speak to us.

Bassistry Arts will be visiting the school during the
