Pupil expectations

There are certain expectations we ensure all pupils adhere to, they are detailed below.

Children may not bring valuable personal items to school, as staff cannot be held responsible for them. Children are expected to take responsibility for their own school equipment, which must be named.

Money

We are a cashless school. If you need assistance with My Child at School (MCAS) payments, please see the office.

Charging for activities

We aim to provide experiences which build on the curriculum and are important to pupils’ experiences. The school does not receive extra funding for these activities and may ask parents/carers for voluntary contributions for activities. No child will be excluded from such activities if a contribution is not received, but the visit may be cancelled if insufficient contributions are received.

Extra curricular clubs

We offer a wide arrange of activities during lunchtimes and before and after school.

School council

Representatives from each class regularly attend meetings held to discuss items on the agenda drawn up from suggestions made by the children themselves about key issues affecting them in school.

Positive behaviour

We have a behaviour management policy which is consistently applied by all adults who work in our school. It is available from school if you wish to see a copy. Our behaviour management policy is linked to our three core values:

  1. Commitment
  2. Enjoyment
  3. Teamwork
