Late Collection of Children From School
When a child is collected late from school, it is distressing for them and unfair on the staff member who has their own personal or professional commitments disrupted.
- School ends at 3.00pm for Reception – Year 6 children.
- After School Club sessions end at 5.00pm or 6.00pm
- Holiday Club ends at 4.30pm.
- Parents should refer to specific communications to ascertain when extracurricular clubs, school committee meetings and other school events end.
If a child is not collected from school, an extracurricular activity/school event or The Copse on time and contact has not been made by the parent/guardian with a valid reason, we will charge the child’s Bromcom account for childcare. Parents will be charged £12.50 per half hour (or part thereof) for late collection of children. Records are kept of the time a child is collected. Where necessary, these will be submitted as evidence for the EWO (Education Welfare Officer).
As per Local Authority guidelines for schools, where no after school child care provision is offered, after 1 hour, if it has not been possible to contact a parent /carer/emergency contact, we will contact our Safer Neighbourhood Police Officer, or Mitcham Police Station.
