    End of the Day

    At Holywell, the safety and wellbeing of our children is our highest priority. To ensure a secure and consistent approach to end-of-day collection, we ask all parents and carers to follow the procedures outlined below:

    • Who Can Collect: Children will only be handed over to:

      • An adult with parental responsibility or known carer
      • A known family member (e.g. grandparent)
      • Another adult, only if the school has been informed by the parent in advance
      • Only siblings aged 16 or over are permitted to collect a child from school.

    • Password Option: Where a parent has authorised another adult to collect their child, we offer the option to set a collection password for added security.

    • Year 6 – Walking Home:

      • Year 6 children may walk home alone only if parents provide written consent using the school electronic form.

      • This agreement is conditional on the child behaving responsibly on their journey home.

      • The school reserves the right to withdraw this permission if a child’s behaviour on the way home or in the local park is found to be inappropriate or likely to damage the school’s reputation in the community.

     

    Before and After School Provision

    We are pleased to offer wraparound care to support our families:
