WHAT IF?

Absent                      When pupils return to school after absence, they must bring a note signed and dated from a parent/carer explaining the absence. Requests for absence e.g. for weddings should be made in writing as far in advance as possible.

 

Late                          If pupils are late, they must sign in at the school office. They will be issued with a green timetable which teachers will sign at each class attended. The timetable must be returned to the school office at the end of the school day.  If arriving late at registration a note must be brought in.

 

Appointments            If pupils have an appointment, they hand in a card or a letter from parent/carer at registration. It is emphasised to pupils that they must not leave school without signing out at the school office.

 

Ill in school                If pupils take ill in school, office staff will take pupils to the sick bay before contacting parent/carer or emergency contact. Where at all possible, it is expected that pupils will be taken home at the earliest opportunity. In the case of a medical emergency, office staff will contact one of the school's first aiders.

 

Need a mobile phone     Mobile phones must be switched off when the bell rings at the start of the school day and at the end of interval/lunchtime. If a phone goes off in class time, the phone will be confiscated. Pupils will be asked to collect it from the member of senior management who deals with the particular year group. If a pupil has a mobile phone with a camera, this must not be used to make sound recordings of, or to photograph pupils, staff or others within the school or within the school grounds.

 

Medication                 If a pupil requires regular medication e.g. Ritalin, please discuss arrangements for administration with your child’s Guidance teacher.
