OTHER INFORMATION
General
St. Saviour's Catholic Infant School caters for boys and girls from 4 to 7 years old. The pupil/teacher ratio and the date of admission of pupils are dependent on the regulations of the Cheshire Education Authority and the Shrewsbury Diocese. Children whose fifth birthdays fall between 1st September and 31st August the following year (inclusive) will be admitted in the September, although they may attend part-time only for the first few weeks.
Illness in School & Medicines
Pupils who are unwell should not be sent to school but please notify us as soon as possible by telephone. A letter of explanation should accompany the pupil on his/her return to school.
If a child falls ill during the school day, parents will be notified immediately. It is vital that accurate emergency numbers are given and please inform us immediately of any changes of telephone numbers or addresses.
If a child bumps his/her head during the school day, the parent will be informed as soon as possible.
As from September 1999 the Reception children have been given the opportunity to combat dental decay and can receive a fluoride tablet on each school day. Parental permission is needed for your child to be included on this programme.
