Late Collection of Children
Occasionally, there are unforeseen circumstances that mean you may be late to collect your child from school, however in recent weeks, we have had a number of children being collected late on a regular basis.
When children are collected late, staff have to come away from their regular duties to supervise them, meaning unplanned staffing costs for the school. With this in mind, from Term 6 onwards we will be implementing a charging system for those children who are regularly collected late. These charges will be as follows:
- After 3.20 - £2.50 charge
- After 4.00pm - £5.00 charge
In the first instance, parents will be given a written warning regarding late collection of children, however should this become a regular occurrence, these charges will apply.
Cancelling After School Clubs
Our after school clubs at Christ the King have become increasingly popular in the past few weeks, and we often have to operate a waiting list of children that would like to attend each day. We understand that sometimes children do not attend booked sessions due to illness/change of plans, however we’ve recently had a number of children being collected after school when they are due to stay, without informing us. This means they have taken a space at the after school club that could have been given to another child.
If you have booked a session and your child can no longer stay/no longer wants to stay for any reason, please inform the school office before 11.00am so that we can offer the space out to another child.
If you do not cancel your session, and your child goes home (for reasons excluding illness), you may still be charged.
Wellbeing Tips
Attendance
Congratulations to Year 3 who have achieved 98% attendance this week! This is a great achievement - keep up the good work!
With only one week left of the school term, we hope to see more classes achieve this next week, and going into next term. Don’t forget, classes that achieve at least 99% attendance will be rewarded with a non-uniform day!
