Illness: if your child is unwell and unable to attend school, please phone Mrs Batchelor in the school office.

Please note that if your child is absent from school and we do not receive a message or are unable to reach you on the phone, we are obliged to follow up with a home visit to check on your child’s safety.

Please ring us on each day of absence, unless by prior arrangement with the office, eg in the case of chickenpox or sickness, where a set number of days at home may be required. Mrs Batchelor will be in the office from 8.30am each day.

Please note that children must be 48 hours clear of sickness or diarrhoea before returning to school.

The school's catering will be provided by the Trust's in-house caters, Zest, who prides themselves on a fresh, healthy and tasty ethos.

Our school uniform can be purchased online through Harvem Schoolwear please also see the uniform price list.

As a school we always try and have open lines of communication.

For academic queries the first port of call is the class teacher who knows your child better than anyone in school.

Questions about clubs, dinners, milk and the payment of monies are dealt with at the office.

Mrs Carver will always try and see you if circumstances permit. She does have teaching and other commitments, but will always try to be available if it is a matter that needs immediate attention.

We frequently send messages out on Parentmail so please ensure that the office has your up to date email address.

Likewise we need your most recent contact numbers in case of emergency.

Our newsletters come out on alternate Fridays, again via Parentmail. If you require paper copies of policies and procedures, letters or any other information, please let the office know and this can be arranged.

The school does not take payment for any item in cash. This means that all payments for school expenses, such as trips, school dinners and breakfast club can be made online with your debit or credit card. Parents and carers will need to use the online service called ParentMail.

Parents and carers will receive a unique password to be able to log on to ParentMail and pay for school meals, trips, music tuition and afterschool clubs.

For more information or to make an online payment to the school please go to ParentMail or contact the school office.

Severe weather conditions before departure for school (if for example, there is a heavy fall of snow during the night, the following arrangements will apply) 

• In the unlikely event of a school closure, an announcement will be made via the school website, plus you will receive an email from Parent mail by 7.30am on the day.
• If the school remains open but you decide, based on local road and weather conditions, not to send your son/daughter into school, you must telephone the school as you would for any absence.

Severe or deteriorating weather conditions during the day (i.e. after students have arrived at school)

With our students’ safety in mind we shall keep a constant check on road condition reports and weather forecasts. If conditions worsen during the day we shall contact parents via email and text so that children can be collected from school
