To help us maintain a healthy and smoke-free environment for all our pupils, we kindly ask all parents and carers to refrain from smoking or vaping while on the school premises.

This request specifically applies to the area immediately outside the main pupil gate and anywhere on school grounds. This includes the use of e-cigarettes and vaping devices.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep our school environment clean and safe for our children.

Following a near miss on the zebra crossing this week and to ensure the safety of all pupils using the crossing, we must strictly enforce the following rules:

• DO NOT Park on the Zig-Zag Lines: These lines are there to ensure drivers have a clear view of the crossing and that pedestrians are visible. Parking on them puts children’s lives at risk.

• DO NOT Stop or Wait on the Crossing: This blocks the crossing point, forces children and parents into the road, and severely limits visibility for approaching traffic.

• The safety of our children is paramount, and we need everyone's cooperation to prevent a serious accident. We understand that parking can be challenging, but a child's safety should never be compromised.

1. If someone other than the usual authorised person will be collecting your child, you must notify the school office in advance. This can be done by calling or emailing the office before the end of the school day. 

2. Pupils will not be released to anyone under the age of 16.

3. To safeguard our youngest pupils, all adults collecting children from Reception will be asked for the security password on file. Please ensure the collecting adult knows this password.

This is a reminder to parents to submit a consent or decline for the FLU vaccination via the Immunisation Service’s website https://www.kentimmunisations.co.uk/ 

Please submit your preference by 4pm today, 03/10/2025. 

Our school’s unique code/URN is: KT148116
