Wraparound Care

We understand that many parents and carers require wraparound care; our new wraparound care provision began during Autumn 2024 to give more flexibility to families choosing our school - please contact the school office for updates regarding this.

Attendance

It is essential that all pupils attend school and are punctual, ready to begin their fun day of learning. However we recognise that there are times when your child is ill and needs to remain at home to rest and recover. Children often have coughs and sniffles and it's difficult to determine whether they should be at school. Using the NHS website will give you advice. Is my child too ill for school? - NHS nhs.uk. If your child is too ill to attend school please contact the school office giving details. School will contact parents if we haven't heard.
