Student Guidelines & Daily Procedures

Everything students and parents need to know about daily routines, lunch arrangements, personal items, and school safety — including break times, collection policies, and health procedures.

Break Time

Students need to be in supervised areas inside and outside the school buildings. We set specific rooms aside in the case of bad weather. Break time snacks are sold in the dining hall. Students must consume all food in the dining hall. We do not allow food consumption in other parts of the school, including outdoor areas.

Lunch Arrangements

Please inform the school of the intended arrangements for lunch. During lunchtime, entry into the dining hall is restricted to diners, and coats, bags, etc. should be left in the designated areas. We do not permit students into the classrooms during lunch.

Fees for school lunches are on the website. The parents can pay the fees to the finance manager or using the school account details. Please complete the payment at the start of each term.

Lunch Activities

Various clubs and societies hold meetings during the lunchtime break, and the library is open on designated days. Students will be given the relevant information by the staff involved. On very wet or cold days, students will remain indoors.

Personal Belongings

Please clearly mark School uniform, PE kit, school bags, etc. with your child’s name. Students should not bring expensive items to school.

We do not permit our students to use their mobile phones or any other smart devices in school. Bringing these to school will result in confiscation and parents will be requested to pick them up in person.

Please note that the school does not accept responsibility for any damage or loss to such items whilst in school.

Lockers

There are lockers available for all students within their classrooms. 

Illness and accidents

If your child feels unwell or has an accident, they must tell a member of staff right away. Normally, they will be taken to the school office, where a trained First Aider will take care of them. If they are too ill to remain at school or if hospital treatment is necessary, we will contact the parents to make suitable arrangements.

Medicines

If your child needs to take medicine at school they must bring a letter stating when they need to take it. The medicine must be left with the Lead First Aider.

JUNIOR SCHOOL PROCEDURES FOR START & END OF DAY

The school day starts at 8.40 am and finishes at 3.20 pm.

Start of day

  • Children line up in the playground, ready to come into school at 8.40 am.
  • School staff will take responsibility for children arriving from 8:30 am when the school gates via playground are opened.
  • Until this time parents are responsible for the welfare of their children.
  • Children should not arrive at school before 8.30 am. If parents need children to arrive before this time, they should make use of the Before School Care services.

End of day

JUNIOR SCHOOL PROCEDURES FOR LATE PROCEDURES
