Year 3 and 4 children are taken to the top playground to be dismissed at the end of the day and year 5 and 6 children are taken to the bottom playground to be dismissed at the end of the day. However, if you have a child in the lower phase and a child in the upper phase you can complete a form to give one of your children permission to walk through the school on their own and meet you on the playground of your choice. You can find the letter outside the school office or it is saved on this page. If you would like your child to walk home from school on their own, you will again need to complete a form and this can be found outside the school office or it is saved on this page. If your child is ever going to be collected by another person you must inform the school office so that the class teacher can be made aware. If the school office are not informed, your child will not be allowed to go with the person that as come to collect them and you will be contacted to find out who is supposed to be collecting your child. The school office number is: 01233 623 744 or you can email the school office on: office@kennington.kent.sch.uk
If your child is going to be collected by someone who isn’t on their contact list, you must let your child’s class teacher or the school office know. If you do not make the school aware, your child will not be allowed to leave the school premises until we have had contact with you. This is to keep all children safe.
