Can we just remind all parents / carers of the following please

Sickness / Absence

The school needs to be notified of ALL absences and associated reasons. This is a legal requirement and we need to code the child's absence appropriately. Please call the school office (01443) 237833, choosing option 1, and leave a message. When leaving your reason please be specific i.e.: stomach bug, headache etc.

Leaving 'unwell' or 'won't be in today or this week' will result in the school calling you to ascertain a reason. Should your child be suffering from vomiting or diarrhoea, they must stay off school for 48 hours following the last bout of illness. Holiday forms are available from the school office or on our website and must be received at least one week before the start of the holiday.

Pupils school records & ParentMail

Please can you ensure that all the information we hold for you as parents/carers eg: contact names, telephone numbers and address details are current and up to date, should we need to contact you urgently, especially in the case of emergencies.

All school communications/messages to parents/carers are sent out via our ParentMail system. All parents/carers are set up on ParentMail when your child starts school and any changes to email addresses and mobile numbers must be made through your own individual account.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your child's school record and ParentMail account are kept updated.

Medical records

If there are any changes to your child's medical history, likewise, this needs to be kept updated. Please contact the main office for a form to complete or email admin@pontyclunprimary.rctcbc.cymru, thank you.

Drop off/Collection

If you need to collect your child outside of normal school drop off/collection hours e.g. after 9am and before 3.15pm, please could you inform the office via email or leave a message on the school answer phone. If you need to collect your child around lunchtime, please could you collect or drop off before 11.30am or after 1.30pm as staff are covering lunch duties.

Office

The office will be closed on Wednesday afternoons for administration duties. Should you need to contact the school, please either leave an answer phone message or send an email to admin@pontyclunprimary.rctcbc.cymruand we will get back to you in due course.

Please see attached current staff email addresses, should you need to contact your child's class teacher.

School Dinners

School dinners are £2.85 per day payable in advance. This is paid through the online RCT portal. A link to this can be found on our website www.pontyclunprimary.org.uk

To pay for dinners you will need your child's unique 10-digit number which can be obtained from the school office.

Please note that any payment arrears are sent off to RCT on a regular basis.

Thank you for your continued support
