Please do not allow the children to bring in toys/ expensive items in from home - we cannot guarantee their safety. If your child brings in a mobile phone, it MUST be given to the office to look after, or the class teacher. Mobiles must not be used on the school site. Although we endeavour to encourage the children to take care of their own, others' and school property, the school takes no responsibility for the safe keeping of mobile phones or any other item children bring into school.

Safeguarding

For further information on how we keep children safe in and out of school, please see the safeguarding information under the 'Safeguarding' tab. Also, there are several safeguarding Trust policies on the Trust website.

 Please note that mobile phones/ electronic devices must not be brought into school. If you wish your child to bring a mobile phone because they walk home independently, they must leave it in the office/give to their teacher during the school day for safe keeping. Children should also not bring in toys, fidget spinners, Tops Trumps/ gaming cards etc into school. Thank you for your support in this matter.

Further information on policies is available from the school office. Please contact us should you require assistance.
