Parent duty rota
Each family is required to carry out 3 duties per school year.
Teachers, teaching assistants, members of the Parents’ Committee, the administrator, the treasurer and those working in the library are exempt from duties.
Duty dates are set by the person supervising the parent duty rota or by the Headteacher.
Parents are informed of the dates of their duties at least two weeks in advance.
Every parent has a duty to check the ‘information for parents’, which is regularly published on the school website and sent by e-mail by the teachers, and in which duty dates are given.
Only in exceptional circumstances may a parent fail to attend a duty, but they must inform the Headteacher or the school administrator by e-mail or telephone no later than 24 hours before the duty begins, and carry out the duty on another date set by the Headteacher.
Parents may replace a duty with a payment of £20 by informing the Headteacher or the Administrator in writing at least two weeks before the scheduled duty. This gives the school time to arrange a replacement if necessary.

If a family fails to carry out a duty, the school imposes a penalty of £50 for each missed duty.
The family is required to pay the penalty within two weeks of the date of the missed duty.
Failure to pay the penalty for a missed duty on time will be treated in the same way as non-payment of school fees and may result in the child/children being removed from the list of pupils.
Safety and shared property
Electronic devices
Mobile phones and any electronic devices used during lessons will be confiscated by the teacher and returned to parents at the end of lessons.
School property
If a pupil deliberately damages school property, the parents will be charged for the damage, up to the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged item.
PLEASE NOTE:
Personal belongings
The school accepts no responsibility for the loss of or damage to electronic devices or toys brought onto the school premises by children during Saturday classes.
