Data Protection

We take our responsibilites reagarding Data Protecion extremeley seriously. 

The vast majority of data we process is under the lawful bases of:

• Legal obligation
• Legitimate interest

In other words, we have to collect and process that information for your child’s safety and education. 

We fully understand the peer pressure associated with mobile phones.

Mobile phones are not allowed in school. We understand that, when children reach Years 5 and 6, some of them begin to gain additional independence by walking to and from school on their own, and in these circumstances, some parents prefer the peace of mind of giving then a phone. In these rare circumstances, we ask that parents complete a phone permission form which can be collected from the office or downloaded using the link. Please return this form to the office. Any phones in school without this permission will only be returned to parents.

We don’t use the phrase “Stranger Danger”, because the vast majority of strangers aren’t dangerous.

We teach children Street Sense instead. This approach gives them strategies to use if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe when out on their own or with friends.

We encourage as many children as possible to walk, scoot or cycle to school.

If you would like your child to cycle to school, they must have a bike permit. This ensures that they understand the safety expectations of them when riding their bike.

You can pick up a paper copy of the application from the Office, or you can download it by clicking the button. Once it’s complete, hand it in to the Office who will then issue a bike permit. The permit needs to be renewed each academic year.

Car use on the School Run

We encourage every child to walk, scoot or cycle to school if possible.

We know that some families still choose to use their cars on the school run and that the vast majority of those do so safely and considerately. 

We recognise that car use adds to the congestion and air pollution around the school, increasing the risk to pedestrians and sometimes causing parking problems.

Please read our advice about how to get to school and where not to park.

Park and Stride

If you must come in a car, try not to park right outside the school. The map shows you how you can PARK at various places around Sandpiper Road and STRIDE to school. This reduces congestion and you get exercise!

Please avoid parking in Plover Close or Sheldrake Gardens.

It’s no more than 3 minutes walk – meet your friends on the way!
