coming to school
Children of infant school age must always be accompanied to and from school by an adult.
As an Eco-school, we encourage parents and carers to make use of our successful ‘walking bus’ scheme. Hunter’s Bar Infant School is rightly proud of its daily walking bus, operated by the parents and carers of children. If you are interested in joining the existing scheme, or starting an additional walking bus of your own, please do contact the school for details.
Safety is paramount for our children and, in partnership with Sheffield City Council, we are committed to doing everything we can to reduce traffic on our local streets. So that we also have a‘Park and Stride’ scheme in conjunction with ‘The Stag’ on Psalter Lane so that parents and carers who cannot avoid driving are invited to park in ‘The Stag’ car park and walk the short distance from there to school. We would ask those parents who do drive to school, to park safely and with extreme care in order to safeguard their own child and others.
Parents are encouraged to make full use of the crossing point on Junction Road which is controlled by traffic lights and of the School Crossing Warden who patrols Cowlishaw Road from 8.30am -8.55amand again from 3.10 – 3.40pm.
Many of our children enjoy travelling to school on their scooters and bicycles and we have a safe section of playground designated as the ‘Cycle and Scooter Park.’ Parents are reminded that they are responsible for the safety of their own child in the playground, both before the start and after the end of the school day.
the school day
The school opens its doors at 8.40am. Please bring your child directly to their classroom in good time for the official start of the school day at 8.50am.
You are asked to collect your child at 3.20pm which is the official end of the school day. An After-School Club is run on the school site. It operates daily from 3.20pm to 6.00pm and those children attending it are collected by the Club staff at the end of the school day and accompanied from their classroom.
