Information For Parents

Discipline

Discipline is based on respect for adults and each other, fairness and a feeling of family stability and order. We therefore expect parents to support us in achieving and maintaining acceptable standards of conduct and dress.

Homework, a form of self-discipline, is regularly required in the Junior School and is expected to be handed in fully completed and on time.

Parent's Evenings

Parent's evenings are generally held termly for individual discussion with staff regarding progress. The door of the Headmistress' office is always open to parents and private consultations can be readily arranged.

School Hours

School begins at 9:00am and finishes at 3:30pm. The school is open before and after normal starting and finishing times under an informal caring arrangement.

Uniform

Uniform is largely available from the School shop on the premises. The emphasis is on sensible business-like conformity appropriate to the occasion for all children except those in the Pre-School Unit.

For reasons of safety, ear-rings are forbidden (except plain gold studs), as is jewellery. School bags, sports bags and slipper bags are available from the uniform room.

Lunch

Lunch is cooked daily on the premises. Sandwiches or packed lunches are not permitted. We offer a varied and flexible menu and cater for vegetarians and those children whose religious and cultural backgrounds require a different diet.

Admission

Admission after the ages of three and four is by formal or informal testing, dependent on the child's age and interview. Admission is preferred in September, but pupils can be enrolled, by agreement, at any time.
