Sharmans Cross Junior School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and
expects all adults to share this commitment
The pedestrian gates are open from 6.30 am – 9.10 am and from 3.15 pm onwards.
Outside of these times access to the school site is only possible by using the
intercom and the gates and being granted access by the school office.
Children will not be released from school before 3.30 pm without a request in writing
and they must be collected from school by a nominated adult.
Where children are brought or collected by car, parents should park well away from
the entrance to the school in the interests of safety. We will notify Police of any
inconsiderate or illegal parking. Parents will not be able to park on the school
premises to either bring or collect their children - unless they are helping in school
during the school day, collecting a child following a school club activity or have made
prior arrangements with the Headteacher due to exceptional circumstances.
If a child is being met by a responsible adult at 3.30 pm, and this does not happen,
he/she must come back into school and tell a member of staff what has happened.
The child will be looked after in their classroom by their class teacher until 4.00pm,
after which time they will be taken to SC_Kids Club and a charge made to parents.
Children in Years 3 & 4 should be collected from school by a responsible adult but
collection of children in Years 5 & 6 is at parents’ discretion.
CHARGING FOR SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Within the terms of the Education Reform Act, it is the policy of this School’s
Governing Body:-
•
to levy the appropriate charges to parents for all board and lodging requirements
on residential visits;
•
to levy charges for activities wholly or mainly outside school hours where
appropriate;
•
to levy charges for materials and ingredients where parents have indicated in
advance that they wish to keep the finished article;
•
to ensure that on occasions where charges may be levied, no pupil is disadvantaged
solely by their inability to pay;
•
to require parents to pay for damage to school property (including the full cost of
replacing lost or damaged library books) for which their children are responsible
and where reimbursement is appropriate;
•
to empower the Headteacher and Chair of Governors to act on any issue which
may require an immediate decision over the implementation of the policy in any
particular circumstances;
