The teacher will bring the child through to the office. Children who go to Ace Club will walk to the Ace Club Hall independently. |
In Year 5 we still encourage parents to continue to bring and collect their child from school. However, if you feel your child is mature enough to walk to and from school independently, then we will release your child from school if you give consent below.
In Year 6, and in preparation for transition to secondary education, we understand that you may wish for your child to walk to and from school independently. If you feel your child is mature enough to do this then please give consent below.
Please note - once the clocks go back in October all children in Year 5 & 6 must be collected from after school clubs (at 4.15pm) by an adult.
If your child engages in anti-social behaviour and complaints are made about them by other parents or members of the public, then we will ask that you revert to collecting your child from the classroom door again.
If you wish to give consent for your child to walk home please complete the form here. https://forms.office.com/e/8DNHUWeK4J
Please contact the office at any point if decide to withdraw consent.
