Office hours
Administrative queries, payments, etc., are best dealt with at the beginning and end of the day when the security system is not in place. Please note that the office is closed from 12.15 to 1.00pm. Please do not telephone the school at this time unless it is an emergency.
Road safety and car parking
Please will parents who bring their children to school in cars park away from the entrances to the school. The roads in close proximity to the school are yellow lined and zig-zagged zones. The designated illegal parking times are clearly displayed. Do not stop or drop off children in this area. Please be prepared to walk a short distance to the school. Children should not cycle to school until year 6/7 when they have taken their cycling proficiency test.
All parents are asked to set a good example by using the pedestrian crossing in Maple Road. Our car parks should never be used by parents. This area is strictly for staff. Bicycles, scooters, etc, are not permitted on site.
Playground and school grounds procedures and breaks
Infant children have a mid morning and mid-afternoon break. The time available for teaching infants during a normal school week, excluding these breaks, registration and collective worship is approximately 21.5 hours per week.
School begins at 8.55am. No children should be on the school premises before 8.45 am and no responsibility can be accepted for children brought to school before that time.
Children must not be left unattended in the playground but taken to their class doors. All children must be collected promptly at 3.15pm. If you arrive early, please wait outside the school gates.
The Junior School playground and car park are out of bounds for the infant children. You are welcome to wait in our playground for the junior brothers and sisters to come out, but the infants must wait with you. Neither school can accept responsibility if your child has an accident after being collected from the class. The children are aware of the school rules and know themselves what to do at the end of the school day. Please help us by seeing that your child behaves in a sensible manner while waiting in the Maple Infants’ playground.
