START & END OF THE DAY SAFEGUARDING.
We ask that adults do not stand around the classroom doors and stand at least 2 metres back. This helps the school staff to hand over pupils safely at the end of the day.
Please inform us if your child is being picked up by a different adult to usual.
COMMUNICATION
You will receive all messages and reminders from the class teachers along with photographs and school news, dates and general information.
Remember to check our website for forms and other information.
Dojo can be set-up to enable access for all parents, carers and Grandparents.
ATTENDANCE
Regular and punctual attendance is vital to ensure every child achieves the very best that they can. Late arrival is disruptive for the whole class, not just the pupil who has arrived late and will mean that important teaching and now also catch up learning will have been missed.
Please call the office each day your child is absent from school.
THIRSTY WORK
We encourage children to drink water regularly. Please ensure a water bottle is brought into school every day, water can be topped up from the water machines. Snacks for break time should be Healthy – fruit, cheese etc. YR, 1 & 2 will receive a piece of fruit in school.
LOOKING SMART
Please ensure correct uniform is worn each day. Shoes must be black – No trainers or sport style shoes. Please help your child and ensure all uniform is clearly named.
WATCHES
Pupils in Y2 and above may wear a watch.
HOLIDAYS
Family Holidays in term-time are not authorised. Exceptional circumstances are limited and any such requests must be put in writing to the Headteacher for consideration. However, these MUST be exceptional e.g. families of service personnel who are back from operational tours, bereavement of a close family member for the funeral service etc

SCHOOL UNIFORM
UNIFORM AND DRESS CODE.
​
This code sets out the uniform and standard of appearance that the school expects from its pupils. Governors are responsible for setting the uniform requirements in community schools and in this school we believe that a consistent approach helps to promote a sense of belonging.
​
The dress code is designed to help children in the classroom environment by preventing distractions and to ensure Health and Safety requirements are met.
​
The Governing body is very aware of the financial implications of buying school uniform and has therefore ensured that the majority of the uniform items are available at many supermarkets and stores
​
All pupils are expected to follow the uniform and dress code. If it now followed a letter will be sent home asking for the problem to be remedied. Parents and carers are welcome to discuss any problems with the Headteacher.

Hunnyhill Primary school will only allow STUD EARINGS to be worn in school.
​
Only one earing in each ear is allowed.
​
The British Association of Advisors and lecturers in Physical Education recommends earrings are removed for all PE lessons to help prevent injury to the child or those around them. We will however continue to provide tape to cover earrings.
​
The school accepts no responsibility for loss or damage.
