Children in Years 5 & 6 may leave school on their own only if we have been given prior written permission by their parents (you can use the form below).

Please let us know who is going to be regularly picking up your children at the end of the school day by completing the form at https://forms.office.com/e/m6UCR6391y. You can indicate on this form if your Year 5 or 6 child is allowed to leave school on their own. Please complete a separate form for each child. Please note that we would not expect anyone under the age of 16 to be regularly picking up their siblings and no child in year 7 or below is permitted to collect pupils from school.

If there are any one-off changes to collection arrangements please let the school office know. We politely request that any changes are communicated to us by 2pm in order to ensure the message is passed on to the class teacher. Any permanent changes can be communicated by filling in the above form.
