End of the day procedures

A polite reminder to inform school if your child is being collected by someone other than their parent or the person who usually collects them. Also if circumstances change during the day meaning that children are no longer attending a pre-booked club. In order to keep children safe at the end of the day, we need to be fully informed about childcare plans, thank you. Please see our procedures document for further information.
