We take our responsibility for our students' safety extremely seriously and it's vital that we know where your child is and that if they need to be sent home, this has your consent and knowledge.

Any student who is unwell or injured should report to Mrs Barratt, our Welfare Officer. She will assess the student and decide on the best course of action. Decisions like this can be difficult and it’s quite common for Mrs Barratt to contact home to find a bit more information about any injury or illness. If a student needs to go home, parents/carers will be contacted and the student will normally sit in the medical room until they are collected. Students will then sign out so that we have an accurate record of who is in school in the event of an emergency.

Recently, we have had a few instances of students trying to contact their parents directly, with parents arriving at Reception without anybody knowing why and/or students attempting to leave site without having informed key staff or signed out.  As you can imagine, this could lead to a situation where a student either places themselves in danger, or where we do not know where each of our students are.

Please could I ask you to discuss this with your child so that you both understand the system.  Of course, if there is any information that we should know about your child - for example, an injury they sustained over the weekend, or an illness the previous day - we would be appreciative and grateful to receive this via an email, note in the student planner or telephone call so that relevant staff can be informed and keep a look out for your child. In general, the best people to give this information to would be Mrs Barratt, your child's tutor and if very serious, your child's Head of Year.

 Thank you for your support.
