IMPORTANT NOTICES TO PARENTS/CARERS
Please note that there is a vacancy for a Parent Governor. A letter has been sent home and details are also on the school website. Printer Credits If you are purchasing additional printer credits for your child please ask them to check their balance. Please do not add further credits if the balance is over £5 unless there are exceptional circumstances. Vehicles on School Site A reminder please to all parents/carers that you are not permitted to drive on to the school site at any time before 4.00pm unless collecting your daughter/son from the medical room. The private road is one way only and all vehicles must exit the site via the gates at the Boys’ School. If your daughter/son is driven to school by car, please note that the fire station is a safe drop-off point and not the area directly outside the main school gates.
Please can parents/carers inform the office in writing of any changes to your contact details and any changes to the medical condition of your daughter/son. If your daughter/son is unwell or injured and is required to go home, she/he is not allowed to stay in the Medical Room until the end of the day. When parents/carers are contacted with regard to collecting their daughter/son from the WHSG Medical Room, the expectation is that the parent/carer will arrange for immediate collection. Any student who is sent home, due to having vomited in school, must not return to school until 24 hours after the last bout of vomiting or diarrhoea. Parents are requested to telephone the school on 01702 476026 (Option 2) before 9.00am every day of absence, giving the reason i.e. headache, sickness (informing us that your daughter/son is ‘unwell/not in today’ is not acceptable as we constantly monitor for viruses). A letter regarding the illness must be handed in on the first day that they return to school. Please send your daughter/son in with any medication that you wish to be kept in school in its ORIGINAL PACKAGING and with your daughter/son’s name written clearly on it. Many thanks Mrs S Martin Office Manager
