Shawclough C P School

Shawclough Community Primary School

Unit One
Please ensure that all children have a sunhat in school and that sun cream is applied in the morning as they have access to play outdoors for most of the day. Children will not be able to go outside unless they are equipped for the warm weather. We can also not stress enough how important it is to clearly label all items of your child’s clothing, especially shoes and not forgetting sunhats when they are brought in. Please note staff are not responsible for lost clothing and a lot of time is being wasted looking for unlabelled items. If you do think your child has come home in another child’s property please return them to school as soon as possible.

Safety Committee
Parents, members of the Governing Body and our local PCSO’s met on the 30 April to discuss safety issues at Shawclough. The meeting focussed upon issues of car parking on the school car park and Thrum Hall Lane. A number of suggestions were discussed; these included closing the school car park and leaflets being distributed to parents. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, 21st May 2013 at 3.30 p.m. in school. All will be most welcome – do come along to help us make Shawclough School an even safer place for your children.

Older children have been seen on our school roof in the evening – please ensure you know where your children are.

Medicines
Could we remind all parents about medicines in school. All medicines in school must be prescribed by a Doctor. We will only administer medicine which needs to be given four times each day.

• Parents must sign a medicine sheet (these are kept in the Units) giving details of the medication and the dose to be administered.
• Please do not send medicines into school with a child.
• Finally, we cannot guarantee the temperature of our fridges.
Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
