Safety in School

For safety reasons, it is advised that children should not wear jewellery and acrylic nails in school. However, a wrist watch may be worn and is the child’s responsibility. Stud earrings can be worn. (These cannot be worn during P.E. sessions. If ears have been recently pierced, they need to be covered by Elastoplast's provided by parents/carers.) If children forget to take jewellery off before they come to school it will be placed in an envelope for safekeeping and can be collected by an adult at the end of the day from the office. If children cannot take earing out they will be covered with tape to prevent them getting caught.

Travelling to and from school

Children can come to school on their bikes or scooters. Ideally they should wear a helmet and high viz vest to keep them safe (especially in the winter months). Bike/ scooter racks are available on the school grounds. We strongly recommend that you bring and use a bike lock to keep them safe as the school cannot accept any responsibility for loss or damage.

Mobile Phones

Parents and carers of pupils who are permitted to travel to and from school independently may wish to maintain contact with their child during this journey. For this reason, pupils may bring a mobile phone onto the school site where this has been agreed by the school.

Any mobile phone brought into school must be switched off completely (not placed on silent mode) before the pupil enters the school grounds. On arrival, the phone must be handed to a member of staff in line with the school’s agreed procedure and will be stored securely for the duration of the school day. The device must remain switched off and must not be switched on again until the pupil has left the school grounds at the end of the day.

All mobile phones must be clearly labelled with the pupil’s name and class. Where a device is not labelled, the school will label it on receipt. Pupils are responsible for handing in and collecting their devices at the start and end of the school day in accordance with school procedures.

The school accepts no responsibility for mobile phones that are lost, damaged or stolen on school premises or transport, during school visits or trips, or while pupils are travelling to and from school. It is the parents’ responsibility to adequately insure devices.
