sort of illness can spread rapidly in the confines of a school and working in a busy classroom can be stressful for a sick child. Every care is taken of children who become ill during the course of a school day, but it is generally better for them to go home as soon as convenient. Please ensure that we have a contact telephone number in case of emergency. Minor accidents can be dealt with at school but in cases where any doubt exists (particularly head injuries); a child may need to be taken to hospital for treatment. In any such case parents will, of course, be notified as soon as possible. B.7 School Meals The meals are cooked in our own kitchen. We run a ticket payment system for school meals and these are on sale from reception at the end of each day. Prices and menus are communicated to parents. A weekly menu is on display at school for you to see. Children in the Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 classes are now entitled to free school meals each day. Lunch break is from 1200-1315 for KS1 and 1215-1315 for KS2. Pupils going home for lunch should aim to return to school by 1300. B.8 Insurance We are by the Education Authority to make sure that everyone is clear about their position regarding insurance cover, should an accident occur. It is summarised as follows: "Pupils are insured against injuries caused by building defects etc. and accidents which occur as a result of negligence by a member of the Authority's teaching or non teaching staff. Pupils attending the Authority's schools are not insured against personal injury or accident while on education premises or taking part in recognised activities outside school. The Council expects all pupils to accept full responsibility for their personal possessions, including money, and to take out insurance themselves to cover any risk."
