You may also require to see the class teacher at other times and it is requested that an appointment is made with the secretary, which will be mutually convenient.

An opportunit to meet with the headteacher to discuss your child's progress at other times is available if there are particular prolems.
At the end of KS1 and KS2 (Year 2 and Year 6) children will undertake the National Standard Attainment Tasks and information and information regarding their performance will be distributed with the school report.
Children in years 3,4 and 5 will also be formally assessed in My using SAT tests and material, to monitor their standard and progress.
 
                                                 Jewellery
 
Parents are required to discourage their children from bringing articles ofjewellery or other valuables to school, since in the event of damage or loss children become distressed, and the Authority cannot be held liable.
Dangling earrings and rings are particularly dangerous and if they are caughtduring play or games can cause serious injury. Therefore, if children have had their ears pierced then only plain studs are permitted.

                                       Available Documents

Documents, such as Department of Education circulars, administrative memoranda and the National Curriculum are available for parents to view in the entrance hall. There is also a copy of the 2001 Ofsted report and summary. School subject guidelines are also available.
Parents will also be notified in advance of the projects their children will be undertaking in the following term.
We hope that this will help parents keep in touch with the curriculum that their children will be covering.

We are also requested to inform you that it is no longer the duty of the nurse to check for head lice, and parents are advised to make regular checks. Further advice is available from the Health Centre.

                                                           Cars on school premises
 
Owing to the obvious dangers to children caused by unauthorised vehicles moving in a very limited space, parents are requested not to bring their cars into the school grounds. There is also the further possibility that your insurance may not be valid within these premises. We wish to minimise the danger to children who need a safe environment in which to work. The school gates are closed from 2.50 p.m. to 3.15 p.m. each day.
