DISCIPLINE AND SCHOOL RULES

All pupils are encouraged to show a courteous and considerate attitude towards each other.  Discipline is maintained in a positive manner but continual failure to adhere to school rules will result in the withdrawal of certain privileges.

In the case of serious offences, pupils will be dealt with by the Head Teacher or Deputy Head Teacher and parents will be contacted if it is felt necessary.  Bullying and anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated at Hurst Primary School.

SCHOOL MEALS AND MIDDAY SUPERVISION

The school's policy is to provide supervision for all pupils wishing to remain on the school site throughout the midday break and take lunch, whether provided by the school meals service or brought by the pupils, and arrangements are made accordingly.  A team of dedicated adult supervisors ensures the smooth running of the lunchtime arrangements.

School meals are provided on a cafeteria basis and there is a daily choice of menu items; a non-meat item is always included.  Dinner money should be brought to school on a Monday in a labelled container or envelope.

Packed lunches must be brought to school in single, rigid, labelled, sealable containers.  Drinks must be in non-breakable containers or waxed cartons, no glass bottles or cans are allowed.  No carbonated drinks or sweets are allowed in school.  Children may only change their eating arrangements at the end of each term.

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

There are a number of clubs of a recreational nature across the school.  These include those designed to improve skills in such games as netball, football, rugby, cricket and rounders and a variety of other clubs such as drama, dance, gymnastics and French. 

The school is increasing its instrumental music provision to offer as many pupils as possible the opportunity to play a musical instrument.  Due to high demand it may not be possible to accommodate every applicant.

CONTACT BOOK

In Key Stage 2 children receive a contact book, which should be used by parents to contact the teacher if a personal visit is not deemed necessary.  The teacher may also use the book when there is a need to send information to the parents.  This book should accompany the child to and from school each day.

In Key Stage 1 and Reception, the reading record also serves as a contact book.
