Safeguarding our Children
Following community reports of a man loitering near our school gates, and other reports concerning older children in the wider community, we would like to request that our parents are vigilant and report any suspicious activities to us and the Police with a description/location/day/time and what you saw. In addition, we would ask that siblings do not collect children from school unless they are 16 years old to ensure that our children reach home safely. Year 6s, where parents have given permission for them to walk home – please always let the Juniors know, if you haven’t done so already.
Police telephone numbers:
Is it an emergency? Call 999 – If not, call 101 for any non-emergency situations.
Access to School Site (Safeguarding)
Pedestrian access to the Junior school is via the Butler Road gate or Infant school via the Ellis Road gate, only during the school day from 9am to 3pm. If you are running late, bringing in a packed lunch or delivering forgotten items, you should always enter the site on foot, at the appropriate gate nearest to the school you are visiting and proceed to the school office.
If you are picking up a child early for a medical appointment, you will need to park outside school and walk in via the Butler Road pedestrian gate for a Junior child or the Ellis Road pedestrian gate for an Infant child. Please may we ask that dental and medical appointments, whenever possible, are booked outside of school hours, unless an emergency,
If you have a Blue Badge, please bring it to the school office so that we can see it and add you to our list of permitted vehicles.
