Pupils are NOT permitted to have a mobile phone in school. Should there be a need for them to have one on their journey to and from school, it must be given to their class teacher in the morning and will be returned at the end of the school day.
We use an online payment system called Scopay. Shortly after starting at John Rankin Schools, you will be sent an invitation email to register with Scopay. When a trip is planned, you will receive email notification from the school when it is visible on Scopay for payment.
To save the class teacher time in the mornings, all school dinners should be ordered at home via the School Grid website. This can be done up to 8.55am on the day.
We have a strong SENCo team who will work closely with you and your child. You will be sent regular goals and up-dates and your child will have additional classroom support where necessary.
There are lost property bins in each school where all unnamed property is collected. The children are encouraged to look for their own lost property during school time.
Please call the school office in advance to let us know of any changes to collection. You will be given a one-time password to share with the person collecting your child. This should be given to the class teacher on arrival at the classroom door.
Please talk to your child’s class teacher initially. If you feel you can’t talk to the teacher, contact the office to arrange a mutually convenient time to meet with a member of the Senior Leadership Team.
