Any important messages that need to be shared before should be emailed to Mrs Bawden in the office (admin email) and/or teaches.
Parents should contact the school if their child will be absent for that day; if children are not in school by 9.30am and no message has been received, Mrs Bawden will telephone parents, in line with our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy.

Key Stage 1
Potters and Thatchers finish at 3.20pm. They will be let out from their classrooms, onto their playgrounds, one at a time, when the staff member has 'spotted' an adult. Adults only to collect and please let school know if someone different is collecting.
Key Stage 2
Weavers and Foresters finish at 3.30pm and will be released by their teacher/staff member onto the Thatchers' playground. Foresters may go straight to their adult when they see them and must not leave the school premises alone. Parents of Year 6 children can send a letter to their teacher to give permission to walk home or to the car.
After School Clubs
We are delighted to be able to offer a 'themed' Late club everyday. Occasionally, a suitable club is offered in addition to Late Club by a volunteer or outside agency. Staff run a Late club each week and so an additional after school club is not possible.
See Wrap Around Care for Daily Late Clubs and Extended Late Club for available for all children.
