NO MOBILE PHONES
Due to child
protection, please
refrain from using
your mobile phone
on the school
premises. Please
work with us and
respect this
procedure.
It is for the safety
of our children.
COFFEE MORNING 2017!
Coffee Morning is every Wednesday 9.00am—11.00am in the Dario Hall. We warmly invite all parents and carers to attend
each week as your help and support with school events, fundraising, specific projects and any ideas you have is greatly appreciated.
We are currently looking for parents who wish to support the weekly running of the coffee morning and other events
throughout school. Please see Miss Sasha or Miss Kirton if you are interested. Thank you.
BREAKFAST CLUB AND DINNER MONEY
To ensure that the School’s budget is not adversely
affected by the cost of School meal debt, please
ensure your dinner money payments are up to date.
If you have an ongoing outstanding balance it could
affect your child/children’s school dinner
entitlement for the term and their meals may be
stopped.
LOST PROPERTY
Please make sure you check in the
containers by the school office if you
have misplaced / lost any school
uniform, coats, hats scarves etc.
There have been a few
items there for some
time, if not collected by
the end of this term, we
will be donating any
items left to charity.
PUNCTUALITY
SCHOOL STARTS AT 8.50 A.M.
AND COLLECTION TIME IS 3.15 P.M.
IF YOU FAIL TO COLLECT YOUR CHILD OR
CHILDREN BY 3.30 P.M. THERE WILL BE A
FEE OF £5 PER CHILD FOR EVERY 15
MINUTES YOU ARE LATE. Remember that children should not be left
on their own in the playground before
8:45am in the morning. If you bring your
child to school, and they
attend breakfast club, you
must accompany them to
the hall.
SCHOOL UNIFORM
We are always delighted to see so many of our children looking smart in their school
uniforms. This is a gentle reminder that we expect all children to wear the correct school
uniform.
Black or grey trousers (no leggings) or skirt; white polo t-shirt or shirt ; black or grey
socks; black shoes or plain black trainers with no other colour on them and our school
jumper.
Thank you for your continued support with this matter.
Uniform is no longer available from the school office. It can only be purchased
from White Hall Clothiers in Lewisham.
TUTORS It is important for parents and carers to know that there are no regulations governing tutors. While many tutors are skilled at developing a child’s learning, they do not need qualifications to work in this field. In fact, a person can be barred from teaching or commit an offence which makes them unsuitable to work with children, can still offer their services as a tutor.
Local Authorities and schools cannot provide a list of approved professionals who work as tutors. Therefore, it is the parents/carers’ responsibility to make sure the tutor is qualified and does not pose a risk to their child. We recommend that parents take steps to check that tutors are suitable : use tutors through reputable agencies; carry out your own reference checks; interview prospective tutors to minimise the risk to your child/ren; and explain to your children how to keep themselves safe. Whilst it is not the law, some tutors may be DBS checked– you have a right to request to see this document. If you have any questions regarding external tutoring, please do not hesitate to speak to a member of SLT.
If tutoring is taking place in your home or the home of a tutor– please do not leave children alone.
WORKSHOPS AND TRIPS
This is a gentle reminder that without
contributions for trips and visits, we will not be
able to continue providing the wide range of
enriching real life experiences for your children.
Your contributions and support are vital in
continuing to ensure all children at Lucas Vale have
the best opportunities.

Attendance & Punctuality
There are far too many YEAR 6 pupils taking time off or
coming into school late. This year is SO important for Year
6’s as they have their SATs in May. Please ensure your
child is in school and on time EVERY DAY unless very ill.
Request to Leave:
Due to the high number of absences due to holidays, the
Local Authority has advised that ALL Requests to Leave
that have not been authorised by the Head of School MUST
be forwarded to Lewisham so that they can issue a Fixed
Penalty Notice . Only leave with exceptional circumstances
will be authorised. Evidence may be requested.
If a child has 10 unauthorised absences in a 12 week peri-
od, a Fixed Penalty Notice can also be issued.
*Important Notice*
If you have any concerns with any pupils or their families
within our school community, please DO NOT approach
them directly! Please see a member of the Senior Leader-
ship team (Miss Tina, Mr Wills or Miss Brumby) who will
deal with your concern as soon as possible.
You risk being banned from the School Premises if you
approach pupils or their families regarding any problems
you may have.
Thank you for your cooperation.
