If your child has medicine that you would like them to have in school 

If your child requires short term medication, such as antibiotics, the school will be able to administer it if it required 4 or more times per day. In this case, please complete the form here. We can only give medication in school within the instructions detailed in this form.  If the medication is required 3 times per day or less, parents/carers will need to administer it outside of school time. For further information please see our Medicines Policy.

If your child is unwell and/or going to absent

Please contact us by 08:50 if your child is unwell and going to be absent from school. A message can be left on the school absence line 020 8546 8210 or an email sent to admin@kingathelstan.rbksch.org and should include your child’s full name, class and reason for absence.

• If your child has been vomiting or had diarrhoea keep them home from school for 48 hours after their symptoms have gone.
• If your child has a high temperature, keep them home from school until it goes away.

For further information please see the NHS Guidance for different illnesses and when to keep your child home from school.

If your child has a medical appointment

Every effort should be made to arrange medical appointments outside school hours to minimise the impact on your child’s education. If a medical appointment falls within the school day your child will be expected to attend school before and after the appointment.

Absence for a medical appointment can be authorised if evidence of the appointment is emailed to admin@kingathelstan.rbksch.org or is brought to the school office before the date of the appointment so that we can inform teachers of the arrangements. We will need to take a photocopy of your appointment card or letter. Evidence should be:

• From the medical professional - i.e. GP, Dentist, Hospital etc.

• The original or a clear copy/photograph of an appointment card, letter, email, text confirming the details of the appointment. It should include the child’s full name, appointment date, time, and location.                  

Free School Meals

All children in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 are entitled to universal free school lunches automatically. Currently, Year 3 to 6 children also receive free school lunches (until at least July 2025) as part of the London Mayor's initiative. Although all school lunches are currently free, parents/carers still need to book and select lunch each day from the menu choices. 

Additional funding and benefits

Your child may also qualify for benefits-related Free School Meals. This means: -

• They may receive Free School Meal vouchers in the school holidays (subject to government funding)
• They will have a free extra-curricular club place each term
• Vital additional funding will be given to the school

To check if you are eligible for additional funding and for further details please click here.

If you need to request "Exceptional Leave"

Please complete an Exceptional Leave request form here. This request is reviewed by the Headteacher. Absences are only authorised if the request is an emergency. Requests for holiday leave will not be authorised.

If you would like to volunteer in school/for a school trip

Thank you, we love having volunteers! You can come in and read with children in school or accompany school trips. All volunteers, whether parents/carers or others, will need a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. See the Volunteer Reading Policy here. To apply for a DBS, complete the DBS application form here. Please note, you will receive an email with a link from Action HR and will need to follow the instructions relating to providing your identification etc. Each DBS application costs school £20, so there is an item in ParentPay for those applying to pay/make a donation towards this. Thank you. 

If you would like to discuss a problem or a concern

Please contact your child’s class teacher first. They will make the Headteacher and/or the Senior Leadership Team aware of the situation. If you do not feel that this has resolved the situation please arrange to meet with the Headteacher. A copy of our school Complaints Policy is available from the school office.

If you would like to come to Class Assembly

All parents/carers are invited to attend their child's class assembly. These are on Wednesdays at 9am in the hall. The dates are listed in the Class Assemblies page here.

If you would like to help to make our school even better

Please share any ideas or suggestions with your child’s class teacher, the office or the Headteacher. Also, please come along to our termly Parent/Carer forum. You can add items to the agenda and join in with discussions.

If you would like to support your child further at home

Please read with your child every night and help them to learn to read and spell their phase words. Please support your child to complete their homework each week. Please speak to your child’s class teacher for more ideas or look on the curriculum part of the website here.
