• Polite reminders for parents and carers

  Mon 15 Jan 2024

  We ask parents and carers to work with school, to maintain a safe and appropriate learning environment for all our pupils:

  • Under no circumstances may pupils bring cigarettes, vapes, alcohol or any other drug on to school premises. Using, sharing or selling these items on school site, school trips or on transport is illegal and will result in a fixed term exclusion. Pupils will also be reported to the school Governing Body as per C.A.S. Drugs Policy. (on website) Please note - It is illegal for any adult to purchase these items for an under age child. (This is a health and safety matter and non-negotiable)
  • Pupils are not allowed to use mobile phones in school. All phones must be handed in at the start of the day to be kept securely until home time. Pupils who do not wish to hand in their phone are asked to leave them at home. (This is a Safeguarding matter and is non-negotiable.)
  • All C.A.S. pupils are required to wear school uniform every day. Pupils must bring their PE kit on days when PE is on their timetable and change as appropriate. Privacy arrangements can be made if a pupil needs them for personal reasons. * (Pupils in Years 7 and 8 must come to school wearing appropriate clothing for outdoor activities on their Forest Schools day only).
  • Full attendance at school is essential for learning and progress. This is the expectation for all pupils unless they are unwell or attending an appointment. Parents/Carers are asked to inform school in advance of any appointments and to contact on the first day of any illness absence as per C.A.S. Attendance Policy.
  • We encourage all parents and carers to be vigilant regarding their child’s access to online material and their use of phones, tablets and other devices with internet connectivity. (our website parents page has Useful Links to support you)
  • Pupils are allowed to bring a bottle of water (not juice or fizzy drinks) for their personal use only. This must be managed sensibly and not shared with anyone else. In hot weather, please ensure that your child has a hat and sunscreen for their protection, if you feel that is needed. (All areas of C.A.S. have drinking water available throughout the day.)

• Welcome back!

  Tue 09 Jan 2024

  Welcome back to school everyone. We hope you have all enjoyed a very happy holiday and some relaxing family time. We’re ready for lots more learning in school and outdoors in our local community. As always, we expect full attendance and thank parents and carers for their support. We are so lucky to have such a lovely environment to enjoy and learn in. Please remember to bring a warm waterproof coat and sensible footwear to school each day during these cold months.

• School closure on 5th July & 7th July 2023

  Thu 29 Jun 2023

  Due to industrial action by teachers in the N.E.U., taking place on 5th July & 7th July 2023, our risk assessment shows that it will not be safe to open the school to pupils on that day. We will have insufficient numbers of staff to provide adequately for pupil safety and meet their complex needs.

   

  Childwall Abbey School will be closed to all pupils on 5th and 7th July 2023. (Please note that this will be subject to change if industrial action is called off, in which case parents/carers will be informed by text)

  
  School will be open to all pupils in Thursday 6th July which is also our Sports day. Weather permitting, parents/carers will be welcome to join us from 10am.

  
  Light refreshments will be available and our Sixth form Enterprise Group will be having a sale of goods.

   

  Thank you for your understanding.
