Dear Parents and Carers,
Firstly, a reminder that school is closed tomorrow for an INSET day.
Any Problems?
If you have a problem or concern, please tell a member of staff. For an adult to talk to another parent or somebody else’s child about a concern they have, can often make matters worse.
Antisocial Adult Behaviour Around Children
The ethos of School of Christ the King encourages positive relationships amongst everybody. Occasionally adults can behave in a way which is upsetting to other adults and especially children.
The school policy states that the types of behaviour that are considered serious and unacceptable and will not be tolerated:
- shouting at members of the school staff, parents or children either in person or over the telephone;
- physically intimidating a member of staff, parent or child eg standing very close to her/him;
- the use of aggressive hand gestures;
- threatening behaviour;
- shaking or holding a fist towards another person;
- swearing;
- using abusive/ offensive language
- pushing;
It also states what action the school can take if the problem persists:
Where all procedures have been exhausted, and aggression or intimidation continue, a parent or carer may be banned by the Head/Chair of Governors from the school premises for a period of time, subject to review as defined in section 547 of the Education Act (1996).
Can all adults please behave in a respectful way towards others, to avoid such action being taken.
Safety at the End of the Day
We have had a number of issues with children playing unsupervised at pick-up time. This has caused a number of issues and obviously makes us less COVID safe. Can I ask all parents and carers to closely supervise their children at this time.
Also as the children leave at the end of the day, it has been noticed that many parents are gathering and obstructing the pavement crossing. Many children are walking on the road side of the railings, in order to socially distance. As the children leave school, please allow for enough distance between yourselves and the children. Many thanks.
