Parents

We know that our pupils benefit from effective home school liaison and we, as a school, benefit from working together closely with our parents. We have a dedicated team of parent liasion staff who meet and greet pupils at the beginning and end of the day. You can also contact your child’s tutor, subject staff or any of our support staff on: admin@northcottschool.org.uk or telephone reception on 01482 825311.

Some classes also use class dojo, tapestry and home school liaison books. For details on our School Day, Transport, School Lunches, Term Dates, Admissions and the Local Offer please use the links below.

School Day

Our pupils’ day starts and ends with wrap-around care from their form tutor. We recognise the importance of bespoke PSHCE for our pupils, and as well as this being embedded in our school week with opportunities such as school council, break time buddies and Peer Mentors, we have a double period of PSHCE for all groups, delivered ands supported by their familiar class team. We also have an SEND SRE specialist on our staff as well as a bespoke agreement with local group Cornerhouse.  During lunch all our pupils attend lunch clubs and activities of their choice with their friends.

Breakfast Club

We offer a free breakfast to all our pupils on arrival at 2 dedicated Breakfast Bars situated in the main school and the senior block. This offers milk, cereal and bagels for a grab-and-go style breakfast on their way to tutor period.

School Lunches

As a school, we are committed to providing healthy lunches and promoting healthy eating. In our life-skills lessons our pupils learn about the different food groups, how to have a balanced diet and the importance of developing good eating habits whilst they are young. Our pupils run a snack trolley at break time, encouraging our children to make healthy choices.
