Pupil Information
I am also asking for your help in ensuring that the EMERGENCY CONTACT and other information we hold on your child is accurate. Please check, and where necessary amend, the details accompanying this letter. Your child should return the details, in the envelope provided, to his or her tutor by Monday 15 September 2009 at the latest.
Mobile Phones
Please note that our pupils are not allowed to use mobile phones in school. If you wish your child to have a mobile phone in his or her possession to use in an emergency, on the way to and from school, you should complete and return a 'Mobile Phone' slip. These are available from the main school office or can be downloaded from 'Parent Information' on the school website.
Lunchtimes
All of our pupils (Y7-11) are expected to stay on site at lunchtimes. If you wish your child to return home at lunchtimes to eat, I would be grateful if you would write a note to this effect and send it to your child's Head of Year. The latter will then issue your son/daughter with a lunchtime pass, which confirms that (s)he has permission to return home.
School Catering
Scolarest has taken over responsibility for catering at KHS and soon will be providing details of the range of nutritious foods and offers available to your children.
Uniform and School Bags
Details of our dress code is set out on our website (Parent Information - Uniform). I would also ask that you support us by ensuring that your child has an appropriate bag, in which to bring her/his books and equipment to school each day. This is important for pupils of all ages and is essential if they are to be well organised and make progress in their studies.
I wish you and your children a very successful school year!
Yours sincerely
N Oaten
Headteacher
