WE ARE A NUT FREE SCHOOL
Our “Nut-Free Policy” means that the following items should not be brought into school:
We have a policy to not use nuts in any of our food prepared on site at our school. Our suppliers provide us with nut-free products. However, we cannot guarantee freedom from nut traces. We cannot give out any sweets brought in from home to be given out as birthday treats.
SEVERE WEATHER AND SCHOOL CLOSURES
In cases of severe weather the school may be temporarily closed. A decision will be made early in the morning and if we close the school a text message will be sent.
Parents can also see the full list of school closures on the Essex County Council website. The page can be accessed using the below link:
Child Protection/Safeguarding
The school ensures that all the school community is aware of safeguarding children. All stakeholders should be aware that the school has a duty to take reasonable action to ensure the welfare and safety of all its pupils. In cases where school staff have cause to be concerned that a child may be subject to ill treatment, neglect or other forms of abuse, the procedure followed has been laid down by Southend, Essex and Thurrock Safeguarding Children’s Board. The Headteacher (Mrs Keitch) takes lead responsibility for dealing with child protection issues.
