1-8 Handbook

Communication with parents In Years 1 and 2 teachers communicate via Seesaw, email or via phone. Unfortunately, we are unable to distribute party invitations. In Years 1-4 there is an opportunity to meet with class teachers in the first half of the Autumn Term and Parents’ Evening is in the Spring Term. There are interim reports at the end of the Autumn and Spring Terms, with a full academic report at the end of the Summer Term. Should your child’s teacher have any concerns about his development she will contact you. Equally, if you have a problem, do not hesitate to make an appointment with his class teacher via the school office. In Years 5-8 , there is the opportunity to meet in person with your child and his tutor in a tutorial meeting, and a full virtual Parents’ Evening where you are invited to meet his subject teachers. Full academic reports are provided each term. If you wish to speak to anyone, your child's tutor is your first port of call. Please remember that we will be unable to see you in the morning as we are preparing for the school day; if you have an urgent message please give it to the teacher on duty in the car park or via the School Office.

Fees Fees and any extras from the previous term are payable in full by the first day of each term. Unless this condition is met, or there is a special arrangement for payment of fees agreed between the School and the parents, pupils may be refused entry to the School, or may be asked to leave. Please note that a 2% late payment charge will be applied monthly on outstanding accounts. There will also be a charge for any returned cheques. Please refer to the Parent Contract for further details.

Jewellery and haircuts

Children should not wear any jewellery or watches to school. Essential religious items are permitted, but these must be removable for P.E. sessions for the health and safety of all pupils.

Parents must ensure that their child’s hair is of a reasonable length, off the shirt collar, and is not cut in any unusual or exaggerated style. Hair should be in its natural colour only. Dying/bleaching is not allowed, and nor is the use of gel.
