Haslemere Primary School

School lunches are paid direct to the school dinner supplier via Parent Pay.  Any queries regarding missing payments should be made direct to them or please speak to Mrs Willcocks. 

Any school visits / residential payments must be paid via Parent Pay.  Residential trips can be paid for in installments over the term before the trip, this has to be paid in full at the cut off date supplied during the meetings. 

If you wish to apply for a leave of absence for your child, please make sure that you have referred to the Attendance Policy.

Absence requests: Due to changes in legislation, only requests in exceptional circumstances will be granted. Guidance from the DfE explains that these reasons should not be authorised.

• Extended family holidays
• One day trips to see relatives
• Birthday or event holidays
• “Educational” visits
• Holidays to long haul destinations

If parents make the decision to go ahead and take their children out of school for a family holiday this will be documented as an unauthorised absence and fixed penalty fine may be issued by the council.  

All applications are made through the Local Council admissions service. Please visit the Civic Centre in Morden, or  directly via http://www.merton.gov.uk/learning/schools/changingschool/admissions.htm the borough will then contact you direct with a school placement offer.

Please notify the Office giving details of the time and date of the appointment. (a copy of your appointment card or letter is required)

On the day, collect your child from the reception area. It would be helpful if you could also let the class teacher know too.

If you have moved house then please contact the admin team and pass on your new details.

It is very important you keep your contact details up to date with the school in case of  an emergency. You can contact the admin team by telephone 0208 6489660 or by email info@haslemere.merton.sch.uk Thank you for your cooperation.

If there has been a change in your child's medical needs then please contact the admin team and pass on your this new information.
You can contact the admin team by telephone 0208 648 9660  or by email  info@haslemere.merton.sch.uk. The information will be passed on to Mrs Willcocks / Mrs Khan and the class teacher. In some cases a medical care plan may be necessary and so we will contact you to complete this. If you are unsure then please do not hesitate to ask.

If your child needs to take presricbed antibiotics during the day or any other medicine from a doctor please see Mrs Willcocks or Mrs Khan who will administer it and complete an authorisation form with them.
If you would also mention this to your child's class teacher that would be helpful too.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Parking anywhere within the school premises is not permitted. Staff and visitors to school are the only people permitted on site.

In exceptional circumstances permission can be sought from the school by completing an application form that is then submitted to the Head teacher.

The criteria are:

• The vehicle is transporting a disabled child who is unable to enter the school grounds safely without transport;
• The parent or carer has a disabled badge that has been issued by a local authority.

Please make sure that you park in the surrounding streets responsibly, i.e. not blocking driveways, parked on or too close to corners, blocking walkways or crossings etc. We believe that neighbours to the school should feel valued and that they are treated with respect. This is obviously modelled to our children by yourselves and the staff. Brooklands Court is private parking for residents only and parents should not park in the private parking bays.

The council will issue fixed penalty notices to people who fail to comply with The Highway Code.

Thank you for helping us to look after the safety of the children in our care.
