►Valuable Personal Items
Parents are asked to ensure that pupils do not bring valuable personal items (eg 'walkmans', expensive watches etc.) to school. Parents should be aware that the school cannot obtain insurance cover for pupils' personal property. We can, therefore, accept no liability for losses of personal items brought to school unnecessarily by pupils; nor can we afford the valuable time, which is wasted helping to find such items. Back to top►Mobile Phones
Mobile phones are prohibited and will be confiscated from pupils who ignore this rule. The school will always make a telephone available to children who genuinely need to use one and will pass on messages from home. Back to top►Loss of or Damage to School Property
It is the policy of the Governors that loss of or damage to school property whilst it is in the care of a pupil must be paid for.Back to top
