The staff of the school have a supervisory responsibility for all the pupils which extends for ten minutes before and after the school day, i.e. 8.45am to 3.30pm for Infants, and 8.40am to 3.30pm for Juniors. Pupils who remain on the premises for school meals or sandwiches are also under the responsible supervision of the duty staff - both teaching and non-teaching. Any teacher organising an `out of school’ activity, e.g. team games, choir, etc. also accepts responsibility for the welfare of the pupils in the group whilst meeting on or off the premises.
A number of pupils come on to the school premises very early in the morning, and parents are advised that neither the staff nor the Local Authority are responsible for their safety and welfare before 8.40 a.m.
Pupils are only allowed off the school premises during sessions or over the dinner period when eating on the premises, either under the supervision of a member of staff (teaching or non-teaching) or with the expressed permission of a parent, written or telephoned. Parents who need to collect children during school hours are asked to collect them from their classrooms.
