Lost Property

Parents are welcome to ask at the office if they wish to look through the collection of un-named lost property. From time to time this is disposed of to a charity.

Concerns or Complaints

If you have concerns or complaints that you wish to discuss, contact the office and make an appointment to meet the principal or see your child’s teacher in the first instance.

If you consider that your concerns are not being addressed, a complaint should be made, in writing, to the chairperson of the board of trustees:

The Chairperson

Buses

Children who are under ten who live more than 3.2km from their nearest school are entitled to travel to that school by bus if a service is available. Children who are ten or more are eligible if they live more than 4.8km from the school.

The boarding of buses after school is closely controlled to ensure that children travel on the correct bus.

You can be sure that unless there are exceptional circumstances, your children will board the bus that they are enrolled on unless the school receives a note or phone call from the parents.

If there is no note or call, children will go home on their usual bus.

Please avoid ringing the office late in the afternoon to make changes in bus arrangements. It is not always easy to get a message to the right child before the buses leave.
