Wellbeing Tips
Nursery Drop Off
One of our highest priorities here at Christ the King is the safety of our children and their families. With this in mind, we would like to ask that families waiting for nursery to open in the morning now wait inside the school gates. This ensures that not only are children kept safely away from the road, but also that the pathways are kept clear for pedestrians.
Thank you for your ongoing cooperation with this matter.
Head Lice
We have had reports of head lice from a number of classes across the school. We would like to ask that parents are regularly checking their children’s hair for nits, and treating them when necessary. Whilst head lice are not an excuse to miss school, they can be irritating for children which in turn can become a distraction from learning, so we ask parents to remain vigilant and deal with them as soon as possible.
Medical Appointments during the school day
Please can we remind parents that without medical evidence (an appointment card/letter/prescription), appointments during the school day will not be authorised. Multiple unauthorised absences may result in a penalty notice (fine) being issued. Where possible, please book appointments after school hours or during school holidays.
Jewellery
A polite reminder that children should not be wearing excessive jewellery to school. Pupils are only permitted to wear stud earrings into school, they should not be wearing hoops or drop earrings. Children should also not be wearing necklaces, bracelets or rings into school, and we cannot take responsibility for the loss or damage of such items.
PE Kit Reminder
Please can we remind parents that our school PE Kit is black shorts/jogging bottoms and a plain white t-shirt. Children should not be wearing brand name or brightly coloured sportswear/tracksuits and clothing for their PE Lessons.
