Newsletter June 9th 2014 Collection of pupils at the end of the school day: We are increasingly being given verbal, varied and changing instructions as to who will be collecting pupils at the end of the school day. To avoid confusion and a child potentially being handed over to the wrong adult, please ensure that you put your requests/instructions in a note and hand it in to the school office. Class teachers are always willing to help but being given 5 or 6 various instructions as they are trying to begin the school day can be a tricky balance. Having a note placed in the class register means that whoever is in the class at the end of the school day knows all arrangements and children are clear about who is collecting them.
