For those students entitled to free travel to and from school, Devon County organises their transport. We all work together to safeguard students’ wellbeing and always help anyone experiencing any difficulty to get home safely. However, the whole process relies upon the “No Pass No Travel Scheme” that we must please all support:-

• Only students who show a valid travel pass to the driver on every journey will be allowed to travel. Students must travel on the vehicle indicated on their pass.
• Please ensure that your child has their travel pass before they leave home every day.
• Please ensure that your child knows what to do in the event they are not allowed to travel or the bus does not arrive (e.g. because of breakdown or traffic conditions or severe weather). School attendance is very important and it is best to be prepared for any of these eventualities.
• DCC will carry out regular pass checks throughout the year.
• Drivers are not allowed to carry passengers who cannot show a valid pass.
• If your child loses their pass during the day they should go to the school office to ask for a 10 day temporary pass. Replacement passes cost £5 each and can be ordered online, or by sending a cheque with a replacement form.
• Further info available at: http://www.devon.gov.uk/school_transport

We have a large range of competitively priced stationery equipment available in our School Shop.

A selection of this stationery is available to purchase on MCAS. 

Your child can purchase the full range from student reception before school, during break, lunchtime and after school.

If the Fire Alarm goes off  staff and students leave the building from the nearest exit and walk sensibly to the Netball Courts where there is a space for each tutor group to stand. There are regular practices throughout the year so everyone is clear on what to do.

Students should let their teacher or tutor know if they feel ill and the teacher will support them to attend the first aid room if necessary. They will normally need a note from a teacher. First aid qualified staff will assess students on arrival and if they are too ill to stay in school a parent or carer will be contacted and arrangements made for them to go home.

It is important that parents’ contact details are kept up to date with the school.

Our SENDCo is Mr Williams, he can be contacted via the school telephone number, you may wish to leave a message with our SEND Administrator.

Visit the SEND Devon County Council website for more information. https://new.devon.gov.uk/send/

If you need to talk to your child’s tutor, please ring the school office and ask for the tutor to ring you back.  Your call may not be returned until the next day, but if it is urgent, please ask to speak to the Head Of House.

Alternatively you can email your child’s tutor directly.

Term dates calendar

Registration starts at 08:45, if your child arrives to school late they will be met at the school gates by a teacher who will record them as being late and issue a detention unless they have a note from their parent/carer. If they arrive before 9am they should go straight to their tutor room to register with their tutor. If they arrive after 9am then they will need to go to pupil reception to sign in the late book. Following this they should go straight to their lesson and apologise to their teacher for being late.

If possible, please try to avoid making appointments for your child during school time.

If you have made an appointment during school time and you know in advance:

Please write a note for their Tutor to sign to give permission for your child to leave school.  The student is responsible for showing their class teacher what time they need to leave the lesson and for signing out at Pupil Reception so that we are aware they have left school.

When the student returns to school after the appointment, they must sign in at Pupil reception, so we are aware they have returned to school.

Parent/carers are responsible for informing the school office (Telephone 01271 373131) on each day of absence from school.

When you call us we will ask for:

• your child’s Name,
• Tutor Group
• reason for absence.

When they return to school, they must have a note for their tutor explaining their absence.
