Nursery places still available – tell all your friend about us! 15 hours free to parents in receipt of certain benefits- see website (paid sessions are also available to parents) Behaviour Policy We have recently had several instances of children using inappropriate language to other pupils. This has also included two incidents where racist language has been used. I would urge all parents to talk to their child about only using ‘kind’ words and of not using words that they don’t know the meaning of. We want all the children to feel happy coming to school and will fully implement our behaviour policy to ensure that we continue to be a welcoming, diverse community that celebrates the individuality of each pupil and includes everybody equally. End of Day Procedures Children in Years 4 and below MUST be collected from school by an adult. Children in Years 5 & 6 will be allowed to walk home from school alone ONLY if we have received your prior written consent
