Entry Profile We have a very detailed Entry Profile document which we ask you to complete prior to your child starting at DUCKS. The Entry Profile provides you with the opportunity to give us a fully comprehensive picture of your child and their development and learning to date as well as anything that you feel is important for us to know before they start at DUCKS. The Entry Profile is given to parents/carers at the New Parents’ Evening and we request it is returned by the New Children’s Afternoon at the latest. This ensures all relevant information is shared with the appropriate staff for your child’s successful start at DUCKS. The Entry Profile information is also confirmed at the start of every academic year. First Aid Most accidents involving children at DUCKS need minor first aid combined with TLC and reassurance. A number of staff hold Paediatric First Aid certificates. If a child has an accident of a more serious nature, a First Aider will assess the situation and ensure the injury is treated appropriately. If your child has an accident whilst at school, this will be recorded on an accident form or electronically at the Infants’ School. We will inform you about the accident verbally, by phone or when you collect your child, or else via the Home Link Book in the Infants’ School. If your child is collected by another adult and you would like accident information to be communicated directly to you, please inform your class teacher or key person. We have procedures for emergency first aid as well as a procedure for transporting children to the Dulwich College Medical Centre where trained nurses and doctors are available or, if required, to hospital. Friends of DUCKS (FoD) All parents automatically become a member of Friends of DUCKS when their child joins our school. FoD is led by co-chairs, a committee and class representatives. The purpose of FoD is to support the school, organise class events, run activities at Founder’s Day and raise money for charity. The main events in the FoD calendar are the Christmas Fair, AGM, Summer Party and second hand uniform sales.
Golden Rules The Golden Rules underpin our values.
We believe the Golden Rules create a positive approach to developing the correct behaviour and attitudes to school life. We are gentle We are kind and helpful We look after property We listen We are honest We work hard The Golden Rules are displayed throughout DUCKS, they are discussed and modelled during school assemblies, taken with us whenever we are away from DUCKS and explored during class Circle Time in the Infants’ School.
