End of day arrangement
Since returning to school in September, we have noticed an increasing number of requests for pupils to be collected by older siblings at the end of the school day.
For safeguarding reasons, our school policy states that we do not release pupils to anyone under the age of 16. However, pupils in Years 5 and 6 may be released to an older sibling under the age of 16, as these pupils are also entitled to walk home independently when parental consent has been provided.
A permission form will shortly be sent to parents and carers of pupils in Years 5 and 6 who wish their child to be collected by an older sibling. The form will outline the procedures and permissions required before we can agree to these arrangements.
Please note that pupils in Year 4 and below will not be released to anyone under the age of 16 under any circumstances.
These arrangements are in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all pupils. We appreciate your understanding and support.
