In line with safeguarding guidelines, we are unable to allow anyone under the age of 14 to collect a child from school without express written permission from the Headteacher. This policy is in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all pupils.

If someone under the age of 14 attempts to collect a child without prior written approval, we will be unable to release the child and will need to contact a parent or guardian to arrange an alternative collection.

For any questions or additional details, please contact the school.
