Procedures
If Pupils are late
Pupils
who arrive late into school must report directly to the school office
and sign the Latecomers book. Parents are asked to send a short note
with the pupil explaining the reason for late arrival at school. Late
coming disrupts the education of all the pupils in the class and will
not be accepted.
If Pupils have an appointment
It would be appreciated if parents or pupils could try as far as possible to arrange appointments outside school time.
Pupils
who have medical or dental appointments must report to the school
office with their appointment card or letter from home. They should
“sign out” of school. On returning to school they should
report to the school office and “sign in”.
Pupils should not leave the school during the course of the school day without permission.
If Pupils feel unwell or hurt themselves
A
pupil who takes ill or is injured at school must inform a member of
staff immediately. The pupil will be referred to Ms Borthwick or, in
her absence, Mr Drummond, the trained school First Aid personnel who
will evaluate the situation. If this pupil has to be referred to the
Health Centre or has to be taken to hospital or has to be sent home,
the parent or a representative will be informed. It is essential that
the school should have an emergency contact for every pupil in case
parents cannot be contacted.
No pupil who feels unwell should ever leave the school without first informing the office.
If a Pupil requires to take medication whilst at school
Any
pupil requiring to take medication prescribed by a doctor must seek
permission to do so. The appropriate form must be obtained from the
school office and returned outlining the necessary details. Pupils
should not carry medicines. These should be given to the First Aider
who will issue as and when required.
