What Should I Do If...?
My child is absent

Please telephone the school office by 9am on the first day of absence. Absences will then be recorded and you will not need to send in a note. Any absence that is not confirmed to the school will be shown as unauthorised. Alternatively you can email the school on admin@wanboroughprimary.org

My child is late

Please enter school via the front door and sign in at the office. Remember to confirm lunch arrangements so that hot dinners can be catered for.

My child has a medical appointment during the school day

Where it is not possible to make this outside of school hours, please send a note in to the class teacher in advance. On the day, please sign your child out, using the book in the entrance porch, so that we have accurate records of children on the premises. If you return to school, please sign them back in.

We want to take a holiday in term time

We actively discourage this as it disrupts teaching and learning. However, if it is unavoidable, requests for up to 10 days in a school year will be considered. Forms are available from the school office, or by downloading Request for Absence Form.

Holidays will not be authorised during Key Stage 2 SATs week.

My child would like a school dinner
Please send in payment on a Monday, in a named envelope, stating the days required for that week. The current cost is £1.90 per day or £9.50 a week. If you prefer, you can pay for a half term in advance, please send in your payment on the first Monday. Credit will be carried forward for any days where dinners are not taken eg due to absence or school trips.

Arriving at school
Children in year 1 to 6 can arrive any time from 8.20 to 8.30am. The playground is supervised from 8.20am and children line up at 8.30am ready to go to their classes.

Reception children are taken to their classroom from 8.30 to 8.45am. You are welcomed and encouraged to come in with reception children to help them get settled.

My child would like music lessons
The Swindon Music Co-operative organise lessons and collect payment for lessons in:
Brass instruments, piano, keyboard and guitar.

Their telephone number is 602482 for details of availability and costs.
