If your child is absent

Burhill Primary School has an efficient and secure system called Studybugs for reporting your child’s absence due to illness and to let us know about upcoming appointments.

Please get the free Studybugs app, or register on the Studybugs website, and use it to tell us whenever your child is ill and unable to attend school or has an appointment (e.g. doctors/ hospital etc.).

Get the app or register: https://studybugs.com/about/parents

Studybugs is integrated with our systems so we know right away if your child is unaccounted for. It is quick and easy to register and use and automatically reminds you to keep us posted.

Drop of f and collection

Please use the Main Entrance on New Berry Lane to drop off and the Nursery Entrance on Pleasant Place to collect your child.

What to do if you arrive at school after 9am

If you arrive at school after 9am, either because you are running late or because you are bringing your child to school following an appointment, you will need to come to the school office through the main school entrance in New Berry Lane. All gates and the entrance in Pleasant Place will be closed after scheduled drop off times.

Please sign your child in at the school office so that we know they have arrived in school. After 9am, you will not be able to accompany your child to class and your child will be taken to class by a member of the office staff as the school day will already have started.

Collection from school

If a different adult (18 years or above) is collecting your child, you need to inform the school that day or inform the class teacher at the classroom door. If there is another adult picking your child up regularly, please complete the ‘Permission to Collect my Child’ form. If we have not met the adult before, providing a photograph is very useful.

Healthy school

Your child can bring in a healthy snack each day (fruit or vegetable only please); however, fruit and vegetable snacks are provided in the Nursery.

Please make sure they bring a named water bottle in every day.

For birthdays, instead of buying sweets or plastic gifts, we suggest purchasing a book for the class library if your child would like to give a gift to their class.

Lunch

PLEASE NOTE WE ARE A NUT AND SEED FREE SCHOOL.

While in Nursery, your child will need to bring in a healthy packed lunch every day for every full day they attend. No lunch is needed on a Wednesday for partweek attendees.

Voluntar y contributions

As a school we ask for a termly voluntary contribution towards any workshops, visitors and educational visits organised. The amount will vary, depending on the events organised which will be listed in the termly contributions letter.
