Parent Handbook Stafford Grammar School

Parent Handbook
Stafford Grammar School cannot accept responsibility for unsupervised pupils or carry out
any duty of care on site when pupils are not in a supervised activity. The following
regulations apply to all pupils from Year 7 to Year 11:
1. By 4.15 p.m. no pupil may remain on site if not actively engaged in, or supporting, a
supervised activity.
2. Pupils must go to the library no later than 4.15 p.m. if they wish to remain on site and are
not engaged in any other supervised activity.
3. Where to find your child:
4.15 p.m. – 5.45 p.m. School Library
5.45 p.m. – 6.00 p.m. School Reception
6.00 p.m. onwards Reception or Pavilion in exceptional circumstances
4. After school supervision is free for both Stafford Preparatory School and Stafford
Grammar School students until 5.45 p.m., after which there will be a mandatory charge of
£10 per 15 minutes or part thereof, unless the school has been contacted regarding any
exceptional delay before 5.30 p.m. In this case the free supervision will continue until 6.00
p.m. The mandatory charge will apply to all pupils from 6.00 p.m.
5. The Headmaster will review individual pupil welfare if pupils are not collected by 6.00
p.m. This review may lead to pupils being excluded from after school care. They will then be
required to leave the school site no later than 4.15 p.m.
We must reiterate to all parents that Stafford Grammar School accepts no responsibility for
the welfare or safety of pupils after 4.15 p.m. if they are not engaged in a supervised
activity. Parents must accept full responsibility for their children’s welfare and safety when
they are required to leave the school site in-line with the above regulations.
Finally, we would like to add that we regret having to impose what may appear harsh
regulations but there are sound legal and child welfare reasons for acting on professional
advice.
