On a date or dates to be intimated by the Chief Education Officer in January each year, parents must register for education all children who have attained the age of 5 years before the last day of February of the succeeding year. Parents have a right to make a placing request whereby their child(ren) can be educated in a school other than the one that serves their catchment area. Placing request forms can be given on request at the time of registration.

Piercings/Jewellery
Following concerns raised by some parents around pupil non participation in PE due to piercings/ jewellery the Health and Safety Team have reviewed the relevant risk assessment and the assessment now states the following:
“Piercing retainers that are used to hold piercings open when jewellery is not worn may be used – these retainers must be non-metallic, flat and sit flush on the skin.” Following discussions within the H & S Team we agreed that this would be an acceptable and pragmatic approach to allow children/young people to partake in PE lessons whilst wearing these ‘piercings’ (previously no piercings were permitted). We have based this change of advice on the basis that the type of piercing retainers permitted would not present the same level of risk that jewellery would.

Please remember to alert the school before 9.30am if your child is going to be absent from school for any reason. Parents are reminded that the reason for this is child safety, we need to know the reason for any absence and this reason is recorded on the school’s SEEMIS attendance system. If your child’s attendance falls below 90%, we will alert you to this. If the attendance does not improve over a period of time you will be invited into school to discuss
