Parking
Parking is always a problem, particularly at the end of the day. Parents may use the Church car park just 100 metres from school. The safety of children must be our major concern and Ellacombe Road is a dangerous place. Parents in cars and thoughtless parking is an ever increasing problem. PLEASE DO ALL YOU CAN TO HELP.
Complaints
Our experience is such that the great majority of complaints are resolved through informal discussions with the class teacher or Headteacher.
Where the matter cannot be resolved the complainant has a right to bring the matter to the attention of the school’s Governing Body. Formal complaints should be addressed to the Chair of Governors at the school.
Charging Policy
The school sometimes arranges non-profit making educational visits at different times during the school year. Voluntary contributions may be requested to cover basic costs. The school retains the right to cancel the trip if sufficient funds are not forthcoming
Residential Trips
On a residential trip board and lodgings has to be charged for. We can negotiate a longer period of regular payment to assist families to spread the cost.
At Longwell Green we wish to encourage all children in Year 6 to take part in these visits.
Personal Belongings
The school’s insurers will not accept liability for the loss or damage to pupils’ property. Parents are therefore strongly advised not to allow their children to bring valuable items in to school.
Accidents
If a minor accident occurs in school our policy is that a “Ben Bunny” letter is sent home. This is to alleviate any fears; our policy is to notify parents direct if we feel that the accident is more serious. FOR THIS REASON IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT WE HAVE TWO UP TO DATE CONTACT NUMBERS.
