CHILDREN BEING LATE IN THE MORNING We have received a recent increase in the number of children arriving into school late. School starts at 9.00 am and children are expected to be in the playground from 8.50 am onwards, ready to line up with the rest of their class. Staff will then escort them into school. Please be aware that from Monday every child who enters the school through the main reception area will be marked in as late and this will be recorded on our attendance system which is reviewed frequently by our Education Welfare Officer.

CONTACT DETAILS Have you changed your phone number or address lately? Have any of the other contact number for your child changed? PLEASE make sure that your contact numbers are up to date so that we don’t have a poorly or injured child and no way of getting hold of their parent/carer. Just drop a note in to reception and we will get it sorted.
SCHOOL DINNER MONEY (YEARS 3 to 6 ONLY) Some parents may recently have seen an article in the Evening Herald relating to another school in the City, regarding unpaid school dinner money. A policy has been adopted by all schools including Pomphlett, with regards to credit for school dinners. Please note credit is NO LONGER available for your child’s lunch. Please ensure that you plan ahead and ensure that there is sufficient funds in your child’s account. The school will NO longer provide a lunch if there is a debt of more than £2.00 (one meal) and you will be contacted to provide your child with a lunch.
