Safe Parking
As you will know from previous communications we have put a safety barrier in
place at the start of our staff car park. Health and safety experts have assessed
the risk of accidents to children in this area whilst vehicles are accessing it at the
beginning and end of the school day as unacceptably high. Despite robust efforts
and conversations regarding the safety of pupils, some parents still insist on
dropping off or picking up their children in this car park therefore we have had to
take this drastic and expensive action. School starts at 9.00 am and we welcome
children into the playground when staff are on duty from 8.50 am. Parents need
to ensure their children are on time to join their class line. Being late is never an
excuse for putting children’s lives in danger.
No access will be available to parents between 8.30 am and 9.15 am and
between 3.15 pm and 4.00 pm. Parents should continue to use the parent’s car
park until the gates are locked at 9.15 am and opened again at 3.15 pm. During
the day, if urgent appointments require you to pick up your child, then the office
staff will operate the barrier for parents. In this case please be very aware of your
speed entering from St Thomas Close and into the school grounds.
May we remind parents that they must not use Humberston Park School car park
to drop off or collect any children from our school. Please understand that this will
not be allowed as this is also an unsafe place to park and causes difficulties for
vehicles at their school.
Humberston Park will challenge any vehicle that does not carry a Cloverfields
staff parking permit and you will not be admitted to park or drop off/collect your
child(ren). Humberston Park School will report to ourselves any unacceptable
behaviour. The Governing body at both schools are united in their attempts to
keep all children safe and we expect all parents to follow the procedures above.
We are fortunate to have a parent car park; many schools do not. Please can
you co-operate and use it respectfully. That includes not parking in the bays
designated for parents with disabled children who will be displaying a Cloverfields
Permit.

Welcome back! Welcome back to all of our families and a warm welcome to all new parents. It is amazing how quickly we have got to the end of our second full week of term; it will soon be Christmas!
The vast majority of the children have settled well and are rapidly taking on new learning. We do however have a few pupils who are still struggling to get back into routine; where this is the case, contact will already have been made with parents and support with behaviour requested. We have a number of changes to our behaviour policy this year which will be sent out to you next week as they have been under trial in school.

Exhibition events
Last year we invited you to your child’s class assembly
but we have reviewed this and decided there is not
enough time for you to see your child’s work and talk
to them about it. Instead, all pupils are working
towards an exhibition day. They will showcase their
work in various ways and you will be invited to attend
during school hours and a short time after school. In
order to put on the exhibition, the children will have
deadlines to meet and only the best that the individual
can do will be exhibited. Staff will be available but the
idea is that the children will be able to talk about their
own exhibits.

Coffee
afternoon
Friday 29th
September
Please come along and support this annual charity
event. Items for the tombola from
Monday and cakes and
biscuits on Friday morning please. Look forward to
seeing you on the day.
School Rules
The vast majority of our pupils look very smart and follow our school uniform
rules- just a few reminders:
No nail polish- exceptions are granted for special dress up occasions, and the
few days after Christmas Fair.
No earrings after the 6 week healing period. During that period parents must
ensure the earrings are covered by plasters sent into school from home. Most
parents take the sensible option of getting ear piercing done at the start of the
summer holiday so they are healed for the start of the new school year.
All hair past shoulder length to be tied back. Small bows or headbands in school
colour are permitted.
Contact Information
May we remind parents the importance of having
the correct contact information for your child. We
will be sending out the Data Collection sheet
next week.
Could we ask you update accordingly and return
the form to school as soon as possible? After
you have returned your form, should any
information change such as address, contact
telephone numbers and work contact details you
must inform the school office as soon as
possible. This is an essential part of our
safeguarding procedures for your child.
