Phones & Personal Belongings
Toys and other personal belongings should not be brought to school. If a child needs to bring in a mobile phone for when they walk home, it must be handed into the office at the start of the school day, and collected at the end of the school day.
Hometime
If your child is ready to walk home by themselves, we will need a permission letter from parents to ensure that all children are accounted for at the end of the day, for safeguarding purposes.
For drop off and pick ups, the following system will be in place following October Half Term. Year 5 parents/carers will enter school through the Oswald Road gate and follow the blue running track past the Willow Garden and on to the black pitch. Teachers will bring the children to their allocated space on the astroturf area and line them up. At 3.15pm children will be sent home in order of their line. Please exit via the pedestrian gate near the car park.
Contacting a Teacher
Please make an appointment via the school office by emailing admin@oswaldroad.manchester.sch.uk, to arrange a mutually convenient time. If your child is going to be absent from school please ring the office on 881 4266 and leave a message on the answer phone before 9.30 am. If you are collecting children for an appointment please remember to sign your child out at the school reception.
