Walking/Cycling Home Alone

At Lime Tree, we aim to foster pupils’ independence, and quite a few of our Year 5 and 6 children walk/cycle home alone. For them to be able to do this the parent will need to fill out our Unescorted Travel Form and get prior agreement from the school. Once this has been completed and seen by the school the class teachers will release them at the end of the day.

If your child is attending an internal afterschool club and leaving the school premises later than normal an email giving extra consent will be needed to clubs@limetree.rbksch.org

If your child is attending an external company afterschool club then specific agreement will need to be made by the parent with the club direct.

Afterschool activities

The school hosts various after school clubs which are designed to enrich your child's learning.

Bookings for the Spring Term have now been confirmed. The clubs will run for the whole of the term.

Booking and payment for internal clubs is done via Parentpay. For external clubs this will be done direct via their own website.

IMPORTANT: When making the booking via parentpay please supply details of two emergency contacts, and any medical requirements within the notes section, prior to proceeding to payment.
