NOTES & THINGS
Charity News

Dogs on Premises
Dogs are not allowed to go on school premises
PE Bags
The school have PE bags for sale that won't fall off coat
hooks. They are available after school each day priced £3.
Lost Property
There is a huge amount of lost property in the bin in the
entrance hall. Please come and see if there is anything
that belongs to you. Unclaimed items have to be disposed
of each half term, as we have no facility for storage. Named
items are returned to their owners weekly.
PE Kits
Please ensure that your child has their PE kit in school
each day. PE kit:- White T -shirt, navy blue shorts, socks,
plimsolls/trainers, tracksuit for outside games (KS2)
Uniform
Please ensure that your child is wearing black, sensible
shoes to school. We will ask children to change their shoes
if we consider that they are likely to endanger their or
others safety. Children are hot permitted to wear jewellery
at school apart from watches and small stud type earrings.
Headlice
Yet again we have to report that there are several cases
of headlice in all areas of the school. If we notice headlice,
we always inform parents by telephone or letter and ask
them to commence treatment immediately. We inform all parents
by letter when there are incidents in the class in order
that they continue preventative treatment i.e. daily combing.
Suitable combs are available from the school office or local
chemist. Treatment MUST be I!given before children with
headlice are allowed to return to school. The school nurse
will contact parents of those observed at school and speak
to them personally. If you would like further information,
please contact Morley Street Clinic tel.: 267338.
Toys in School
There are occasions when children like to bring toys and
artifacts to school from home. Please do not allow them
to bring anything precious as teachers can not spend time
looking for lost items or sorting out arguments. We would
also prefer it if they did not bring large items, as we
do not have suitable storage.
Health and safety
Please ensure that you observe the NO PARKING signs. If
it is essential that you use your car to bring and/or collect
your child, please park away from the school. Walking a
few steps may save a child's life. Please do not wait or
use the corridors as a thoroughfare as this causes congestion
and is a potential danger to children as they move around
the school building. All Key Stage 1 children will use the
Key Stage 1 playground to enter and exit the building. All
Key Stage 2 children will use the School Lane entrance to
enter and exit the building. The main entrance to the school
is from Chiltington Way for visitors and parents during
school hours.
Mobile telephone
Please do not allow your child to bring mobile telephones
into school.
End of School Day
Please do not allow children to ride scooters or bikes on
the KS 1 playground at the end of the school day. There
are 180+ children leaving school at that time plus parents
and toddlers -scooters and bikes are a hazard to their safety
.We would also ask that parents with toddlers do not allow
them to play on the field or to disturb classes as teaching
continues until 3.00pm for Key Stage land 3.10 pm for Key
Stage 2.
