A reminder/clarification about staying in school after 3.15pm

By 3rd July 2015

Students who are going to stay in school after 3.15pm need to be in either of the following places:

– A registered after school activity such as Art Club, Maths Club, Football, Running Club or Book Launch.
– Using the music room (provided that they booked in advance)
– Compulsory homework club (parents will always be advised when students are required to attend compulsory homework club)
– A FIX session (parents will always be advised when students are required to attend a FIX session)

Finally if students are not in any of the above, they will be expected to attend regular homework club, regardless of whether they have any outstanding homework. We do insist upon this so that we can supervise your son or daughter. If students do not have any specific homework to complete there are a number of productive activities that they are always able to do:

– work on their e-portfolio in Realsmart
– compete in live Mathletics
– do practice questions in I AM LEARNING

Students must not wait outside for parents or relatives to collect them. Students should only leave the building at the moment when they are going to make their own way home, or when someone has arrived to collect them. Students are allowed to have their phones switched on during homework club, so that you can inform them when you are ready to collect them.

Travel Information

Cycling

Students are welcome to use their cycles as transport to XP, if they so wish and we will provide cycle storage in the temporary building.

Cars

Parents are welcome to drop students off in a morning and pick them up any time after 3.15pm and before school closes at 4.30pm. Parents can enter the community stadium car park but must adhere to the one-way system and drive carefully as the stadium is used by the community and is often very busy.

Buses
