An A to Z of DUCKS
An A to Z of DUCKS
Security We take the security and safety of the school community at DUCKS very seriously while working hard to maintain a welcoming environment for everyone who comes to our school. DUCKS has a robust visitor procedure to ensure we know who is on site at all times. This is essential, for example in case of fire. These measures include; • All staff wear ID badges on black staff lanyards, • All visitors sign the visitors’ book and wear a visitors badge with a red lanyard • We always politely challenge anyone not wearing a visible ID card, • We ask parents to use the correct entry and exit points to our school at all times. To maintain the security of our buildings and site it is very important that only DUCKS staff open the main entrance doors and gates to the buildings. This ensures that visitors are welcomed by DUCKS staff and they are directed appropriately. If you see anyone acting suspiciously on site, please inform the School Office immediately. Kindergarten Entry to the Kindergarten is by video entry phone and we ask that parents do not let other people ’tail gate’ when they come into the building. Internally, the door is kept locked throughout the day. If your child attends the Baby Room, please use the Baby Room entrance to the right hand side of the building. Both doors will be opened at 8am when the rooms are ready for the start of the day. Infants’ School All visitors will be signed in and issued with a visitor’s badge on a red lanyard by the School Office staff; this must be worn visibly. Entry to the Infants’ School during the day is through the video entry gateway.
Progress Meetings In the Kindergarten, parents/carers are invited in to meet their child’s key person to discuss their progress either face to face or online. In this meeting we look at each child’s journey and discuss their development and learning. In the Infants’ School, parents’ evenings are a time when you can meet the class teacher to discuss your child’s progress and attainment. The specialist teachers are also available to talk to Infants’ School parents/ carers during these evenings. The dates and appointment booking link will be sent out via DUCKSPost and are bookable via SchoolCloud. Policies DUCKS and Dulwich College have policies and procedures that cover all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. Policies are found on the Dulwich College website www.dulwich.org.uk/about/policies and you are welcome to request a paper copy from the School Office. In addition to our policies we also have the following forms: • Permission to Administer Medication Request Form • Alternative Collection Arrangements Form These are available from the office or Kindergarten and Infants’ School foyer. Reporting Timetable In the Kindergarten each child receives an end of year report. Access to each child’s learning journey is available through Tapestry – our online learning journal. In the Infants’ School your child will receive a written report each term following the schedule set out below. The end of year report is a summative celebration of your child’s trajectory/progression journey over the academic year.
