FAQs
What are the holiday dates for this year?
Please see the Federation Term Dates section to view term dates for the year at the top of the page.
How much is a school meal or am I eligible for Free School Meals; if so how do I apply?
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are automatically entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals, however, we would encourage you still to register at Warwickshire Free School Meals, so that we can continue to receive extra funding through pupil premium. This is a grant, currently £1,300 per eligible pupil, that the government awards us to support children whose parents are in receipt of certain welfare benefits. For more information you can contact the Warwickshire County Council Free School Meals Office on 01926 359189. All applications are processed online.
How should my child travel to school?
We encourage all children to travel to school safely and, where possible, use active forms of travel such as walking, scooting, or cycling. Secure scooter and bicycle storage is available on site during the school day.
If you are travelling by car, we kindly ask that you consider using a "park and walk" approach where possible. To help keep all children safe, please do not park on the yellow zigzag markings outside the school gates and be considerate of our neighbours and other road users when parking nearby.
How can I help out in school or on school trips?
Check with your child’s class teacher in the first instance. Please note all volunteers in school must undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before they can help. Please ask at the office for further information.
Where can I obtain school uniform?
School uniform with an embroidered logo, such as sweatshirts and cardigans, coats and bookbags, are available to purchase at Clive Mark Uniform shop in Warwick or online at www.gooddies.co.uk. Please see the handbook for a full uniform list.
How do I apply for leave of absence during term time?
Leave of absence during term time will not be authorised unless there are exceptional circumstances. An application form (available to download from the OFFICE section of the site, or from the school office) must be completed no less than six weeks prior to the start of the proposed leave of absence. Each application will be assessed based on attendance and using strict criteria. If the application does not meet these criteria, you will be told your leave of absence cannot be authorised.
Can my child be given medicine in school?
Only medicine prescribed by a doctor can be administered in school and the appropriate paperwork, obtainable from the office, must be completed. Children are encouraged to be responsible for the administration of their own inhalers, supported by adults. If your child needs to have an inhaler in school, please make sure that it is clearly marked with their name and class and given to the school office.
