Parents Letter – T2 Drop off and Collection of pupils
Dear Parent/ Carers
We have been reviewing our procedures for safe drop off and pick up. From term 2, the following will be put in place if an adult is not collecting:
- All children must arrive at school by 8.40am, otherwise they will be considered late.
- EYFS/ KS1 children will only be released at 3pm to a sibling over 16 years of age.
- KS2 children may be released at 3pm to a sibling of secondary school age.
- Children will not be released to any adult that is unknown to school or to another parent unless school has been notified in advance. If an unknown adult or another parent comes to collect without school being informed in advance and we cannot contact parents, the child will remain at school until we can make contact with someone on the contact list.
- In Y5/6 parents can request that pupils walk to and from school at 3pm. The school will consider location of house from school, roads that will need to be crossed, any special needs the children might have, the time of the children leaving school – for example in the winter it is dark after extra-curricular activities before granting permission
No child who attends afterschool club will be allowed to walk home on their own.
Thank you for supporting us to keep your children safe
