Medical/Dental Appointments
Please ensure your child brings an appointment card or a letter from you to show his/her tutor on the morning of the appointment.

End of Day
Students should leave the school site not later than 1500 unless they are attending a sports club or taking part in an organised activity. Please make sure you know how and at what time your child is travelling home each day.
 
Holidays

Medication
If your child is on medication, this should be left at the school office at the start of the day. Please ensure that dosage instructions are provided. We are unable to administer any drugs, but we will endeavour to make sure your child takes his/her medication at the right times.
