20th JuneReleasing Pupils in School Time/Emergency SituationsPlease note that pupils will only be released from School if we are able to obtain consent from somebody who has ‘Parental Responsibility’ for the pupil in question. We do appreciate that occasionally, emergency situations can arise, and a parent/carer with Parental Responsibility sends another member of the family to collect a pupil on their behalf. In these situations Parental Consent will still need to be obtained from a parent/carer with Parental Responsibility prior to the child being released from school. It is therefore imperative that your contact details are up-to-date and you are contactable if you have made this arrangement.
