Pupil Information
You will be asked to complete a registration form if you would like to use the extended school provision. Information contained in this document will be used if there is a need for a parent to be contacted and for those children with medical needs. Please ensure that any changes in emergency contact or medical needs are reported to the school office and to the wraparound email as soon as possible so that we always have accurate and up to date information. All registration forms will be kept confidentially and stored in a locked cabinet when not in use.
Pupil Illness
If your child becomes unwell during Breakfast or After School Club you will be contacted by a member of staff. Please notify the school office, or email wraparound@galleyhillprimary.co.uk, of any contact detail changes as soon as possible so that emergency contact details are accurate.
If your child is suffering from a contagious illness such as diarrhoea or vomiting, they must not return to school for at least 48hours after the last episode occurred. This will help limit the spread of illness.
Staffing
The number of staff in the extended care sessions will vary depending on the number of children but it will always follow the correct adult to pupil ratio as per government guidelines. In addition to this, the Headteacher will be contactable, as well as a qualified first aider. All staff have current Disclosure and Barring checks in place and are registered on the Single Central Register.
Contingency Arrangements for Staff Absence and Emergencies
If a member of staff is absent, arrangements will be made by the Headteacher to ensure that a suitably qualified member of school staff is available to run the session.
