We wish to help ensure that children travel securely and safely to and from School. We hope that the following measures are therefore necessary and helpful.
In the mornings, until we have received parental notification of a child鈥檚 absence, we cannot be absolutely sure that a child is safe and we should be very grateful for your help. It is essential that you let us know by telephone or email if your child is unable to attend on a particular day. It is also essential that you please inform us if your child is not going to be attending a club or Senior House Waiters if they have been signed up for those after school activities. If your child was due to attend Byron House Waiters with Premier Education, please contact them directly on 01223 631310 or email office-002@premier-education.com.
With regard to planned absences, such as a visit to a school or a doctor鈥檚 appointment, please send an email request to the Head of the Junior Department for Byron House or the Assistant Head (Pastoral) for Senior House, as relevant, copying in the appropriate secretary (bhoffice@sjcs.co.uk or shoffice@sjcs.co.uk).
Registers are also taken for after school activities. If your child is due to stay for after school care or a Co-curricular activity and plans change, please contact Byron House or Senior House Reception as appropriate so that a note can be made on the registers. Any unexplained absences will be followed up.
We strongly discourage requests to take children out of School during term time for holidays or events which are not important or essential family occasions. Permission to be absent during term time for holidays or non-essential events must be obtained from the Head.
