- In your child’s homework diary, they will have a green stamp at the end of each day to show they are following our school’s ‘Good to be Green’ behaviour policy. If they do not get a green stamp it is because they have not ended the day on a green card or have received a red card during the day. You will be notified by text if a red card consequence has occurred.
Thank you for allowing us to get to know your children and understanding that, due to our limited space and lessons starting at 8.50, we cannot allow parents and carers to enter the huts before or after school. Please leave your children at the end of the ramp behind the chain and any urgent messages, such as a different person picking your child up or illness, need to be delivered via the office or a written note. Queries about homework can be written in the homework diary which is checked daily by an adult.
