This is where one of our computer rooms is opened to the pupils as a general workroom. A member of staff is on hand to provide help and guidance if necessary. The school’s pupil information management system (SIMS) collects and stores details about your child which staff in school use to monitor aspects of attendance, progress and behaviour. We are now able to give you an on-line view of some of this information taken directly from SIMS. This would involve you using a computer connected to the internet to log into the SIMs Learning Gateway More details and the forms required to sign up to the SIMs Learning Gateway can be found on the school website homepage in the Remote Access Panel, or can be obtained by contacting the school using the email address slg@kibworthhigh.leics.sch.uk Page 18
Personal Accident Insurance for Pupils SCHEME ARRANGED WITH ZURICH MUNICIPAL INSURANCE CO It is often assumed by parents that if an accident occurs at school, the school can be held responsible and that financial compensation will therefore be made. It cannot be emphasised too strongly that the liability of the school is strictly limited to cases where there is proven evidence of negligence. In the vast majority of cases, the injuries sustained are minor and the circumstances of the accident will reveal no evidence at all of negligence on the part of the school. There are, however, some accidents which can have long term consequences or result in some form of permanent disability but still without any evidence of negligence on the part of the school. The advantage of a personal accident policy therefore, is that whilst in no way preventing further action to seek damages in cases where negligence is alleged, payments under the policy are made on the basis of the injuries sustained and are not conditional on proving liability. In order to provide parents with the opportunity of arranging appropriate insurance cover at a very competitive cost, the Local Authority has arranged a scheme with Zurich Municipal Insurance Co. the policy runs from September to August of the ensuing year and provides cover for 24 hours a day, 365 days per year and so is not limited to when children are at school. If you are interested in arranging such cover for your child, summary of cover sheets and application forms can be obtained from the school. Completed forms should then be returned to the school accompanied by a cheque for £12 made payable to Kibworth High School. Confirmation of cover together with a copy of the supply policy will subsequently be forwarded to you by the Children and Young People’s Service via the school. Mobile Phones The rules for mobile phones are outlined below: 1. Pupils are not allowed to bring mobile phones into school. The school will not accept responsibility for damaged or missing phones. 2. Parents/carers who feel their child needs access to a mobile phone for a one off emergency situation must request this in writing to the Headteacher. If the request is granted, arrangements will be made regarding the pupil’s access to the phone. In these exceptional circumstances we ask that the phone be handed in to the school office for safe keeping. 3. In all other circumstances, if a pupil is found to have a mobile phone, it will be confiscated and will only be returned when the parents/carers have made an appointment to collect it. Page 19
