Ysgol Bro Tawe • Children should not arrive at school before 8. 45 am, unless they are attending Breakfast Club, which starts at 8. 00 am. • At the beginning and end of the day parents are asked not to enter the school building unless they need to see a member of staff. • Always let the school know by telephone or written message if someone other than the usual carer will be collecting your child • We are obliged to formally account for all pupil absences. Please inform the school of the reason for absence on the first morning so that we know your child is safe.
Ysgol Bro Tawe Snacks - Children may bring a snack to eat at morning break. However, bearing in mind the evidence that sugar is detrimental to children's teeth, the school will operate a 'no sweets, no chocolates' policy. You may consider therefore, that fruit is a sensible alternative. Holidays - We ask parents to try to arrange holidays in official school breaks. If this is not possible, a holiday form is available from the school office. Medication – Staff will administer medication to a child who is diagnosed with a chronic illness (e. g. diabetes, epilepsy etc). Parents are required to administer any medication which has been prescribed for common illnesses. (Details to be found in your pack)
Ysgol Bro Tawe Jewellery - Jewellery should not be worn to school. However, we appreciate that watches are important and are therefore acceptable. The only permissible exception is the wearing of small stud backed earrings. (Hoop earrings are not to be worn by pupils) All earrings must be removed for P. E lessons Concerns - If you have concerns then please ring the school to make an appointment to see myself.
