For the first few mornings parents are very welcome to sit with their children in the classroom, encouraging them to feel comfortable in their new surroundings. After this time, however, we’ve observed that children settle more easily and happily if they are handed over to their teacher and the parent leaves immediately.
Although this may initially cause some tears (on both sides), we have found it to be the best method in the long term, enabling the child to develop a good relationship with their teacher, and a sense of their own independence.
At the end of the day/closure of the school only custodial parents or authorised individuals may collect a child from the school. Should it be necessary for your child to be collected by someone unknown to the school staff, please advise us beforehand, preferably in writing, and ensure that your replacement can produce some form of identification. We take the issue of child safety very seriously, so please help us by following this procedure. Without direct conformation, either written or oral, from you we cannot release a child from the school.
