Information for September 2023
Drop Off Arrangements
Your child will start school on Monday 4th of September and should enter the school building using the Year 5 and 6 entrance. This is located approximately 25 metres to the right of the entrance to the school office.
This door will be open from 8:45am and closed promptly at 8:55am. Once inside, your child should go straight to their new classroom where they will find their individually labelled peg to hang their belongings and be greeted by their class teacher. (We are aware this area of the building is unfamiliar to some children, so there will be members of the school team on hand to help guide them to the classroom)
What to Wear and What to Bring
Children are expected to attend school in full summer school uniform, please see our uniform page for further details. In addition, children should bring in their PE kit in a named red school drawstring bag and a rucksack containing only the following items:
A wipe-able lunch box (where needed);
A named water bottle;
A reading book; and
A contact book (this will be given to your child on the first day).
Children can also choose to bring a small, 'pocket' sized toy that is appropriate to use during break and lunch. This could be a small set of Pokémon cards, a fidget toy or a toy car. If you or your child is unsure if their toy is appropriate, please ask them to speak to their class teacher who will be happy to help.
Collection Arrangements
Your child will finish school at 3:15pm and will exit the building through the Year 5 and 6 entrance. Depending on the information you give us on the Pick Up Arrangement Form, the class teacher will either release your child to walk home on their own, meet you at a specified place or ensure they are released to the designated adult.
Please be aware that you must complete a new arrangements form for this academic year. Completed forms can be emailed back to the school office or handed to a member of the class team.
Please note: It is really important that we receive your completed from on the first day of term as we cannot release your child to walk home or go with a designated adult without your signed consent. If you have not received a digital copy of this form or you need to collect a printed version, please contact the school office.
Home - School Communication
During the drop off and collection times, there will always be a member of the year group team on hand who will always do their best to support with any questions or concerns. However, the most effective way to communicate with the class teacher is using your child's contact book or by emailing the school office who will forward the message on.
If there is anything of a more confidential or sensitive nature, you can email the safeguarding team direct on DSL@fermorschool.org.uk
We hope the information on this page has been helpful. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Year 5 team. It is our goal to ensure that every child has an amazing year.
