Parents online access to school system VS Ware.

We are pleased to announce that your son’s term reports and absence information will be available to you online from now on.

The effect of this will be that school reports will no longer be posted. This will create savings in postage costs, in paper and processing – good for the school and good for the planet!

Using your online username and password, you will have access to all your son’s reports, attendance, timetable and more in one handy place.

We expect that there will be further enhancements over time. These will be announced as they become available.

There is a useful explanatory video available at the following link to show you what you may access when you login:    https://vsware.wistia.com/medias/tmb3s409kt

Pupil Personal Accident School Insurance

Parents are reminded that students attending our school have “School Activities Insurance”. This policy covers our students during school hours and for school activities only.

Any parent wishing to make a claim under this Allianz policy may do so by downloading the claim form, completing the details and bringing the form to the school to be validated.

The completed form and any receipts must then be forwarded by parents to Allianz.

The premium for this cover is paid for by the school out of funds collected from parents’ voluntary contributions (which emphasises the importance of parents making this contribution!!)

Pupils who attend hospital will normally be able to claim back all expenditure under this policy. Please note that the school does not administer claims under this policy and all claims must be made directly through Allianz per the instructions on the claim form.

A link to a Claim Form may be found here: pupil-personal-accident-report-for

Parking

May we respectfully remind parents of the importance of parking in a manner that is both respectful of concerns of our neighbours and cognisant of the safety of our pupils. Please never park across driveways, on yellow lines or close to junctions. Please bear in mind that your impatience should never compromise the safety of our students.
