Notices- Please read thoroughly:
*If parents would like to arrange a meeting with a member of staff, please email them directly to arrange this. The school office does not have access to staff diaries, but can provide parents with the email address of the member of staff they would like to get in touch with. We cannot arrange spontaneous meetings with staff as they follow a daily timetable, have scheduled meetings to attend and may be required to cover/support lessons.
** Please ensure birthday/celebration cakes that you wish to share with your child's class are
given to your child's class teacher in the morning when you drop them off and is sliced, completely nut free (no traces) and suitable for vegetarians. We will not accept any cakes/treats that do not meet this criteria. Please consider providing plates/tissues (cup-cakes are always the neatest to share!).
***ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY
If your child is absent please contact the school the same day with the reason for the absence.
. For absences between 1 – 3 days: a daily telephone call or an e-mail to the school: attendance@school21.org.uk / htayfur@school21.org.uk from parents/carers by 8:30am stating student’s name, class, year and reason for your child's absence (please only use your child's initials in the subject heading of any email).
· For absences between 4 – 5 days we will require letter or proof of medication with an explanation on or before the child’s return to school.
· For absences of 5 days and over parents must provide written medical evidence i.e a prescription or appointment letter.
We will inform you if your child's absence or lateness causes concern and will work with you to find a way of improving your child's attendance. If you would like to discuss your child’s attendance / punctuality or have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the attendance officer at the school via the above email address.
****Punctuality
It is important that your child attends school on time- Primary, Middle and Secondary (8:30am). A pupil arriving late will disrupt not only his/her learning but also that of others.
******Safe Parking - We are disappointed to say that despite several notices, some of our parents are still not following the "no parking" yellow zig-zag signs outside the school premises. We are now in the process of working with the local authority to ensure that parking laws are adhered to. Parking illegally causes a health and safety hazard for our parents and especially our children. Please keep them safe!
*******Equipment - Parents please ensure your child comes into school with all the
equipment and food they will need for the day. The front office will not be responsible for taking things to classroom as this is disruptive to children's learning.
