School Trips and Residential Visits
If your child is asked to arrive at school early (before 8.45 am) for a school trip please make sure you accompany them to the main school entrance (office).
Dates for school trips can be found in the school calendar and your class newsletters.
Parental Involvement
It is our policy to do checks for any adult helping in and around school, or on school trips. If you offer your help for a school you will be asked to fill in a DBS (Disclosure barring service) form during which you will be asked to provide evidence of your identity and address.
If you have any queries about these checks please feel free to contact Mrs Thurgood-Buss in the office and she can go through the process with you.
If you are able to help transport children in your car for school activities please could you complete the Safeguarding checks for transporting children proforma to confirm your details, and the availability of essential driving documents (licence, MOT, insurance) for our records and provide us with a copy of your current insurance certificate.
