Children Walking to and from School Safely
All children in the infants MUST be collected by an adult known to the school.
If your child is in the Juniors please inform the school office if they are allowed walk to or from school alone.
It is recommended by the government for the safeguarding of children that they do not walk home alone from school until they are 10 years old.
Following this guidance the school strongly recommends only children in Year 5 & 6 walk to or from school alone. Younger children are at risk even if they are walking short distances alone.
A list will be given to school staff indicating if your child can walk alone, should you decide to change these arrangements it is your responsibility to inform the school office.
Lost property
There is a lot of lost property in school. Please come and take a look on Friday morning if your child has lost anything during this term.
