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 off and collection

Please use the Nursery Entrance on Pleasant Place to drop off and 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.

Nursery uniform

It is our preference that your child wears the following:

Red Burhill sweatshirt and book bag available from AlleyCatz

White polo shirt (available from any retailer)

Children can wear dark coloured jogging bottoms, a grey school skirt or red checked tunic (available from any retailer)

Wellies (to be left in school)

The PTA (FoBS) will be selling good quality second hand uniform and can be

emailed at hello@friendsofburhillschool.co.uk.

Jewellery is not allowed in school. Please do not have your child's ears

pierced during term time. If they have earrings they should be small studs.
