Joining the school

Home School Agreement

The School Day

The school day runs from 8:45am - 3:15pm. Pupils will attend school for 32.5 hours per week

Attendance

Regular school attendance is vital for ensuring continuity for all children. In the event of illness parents/carers must inform the school by telephoning. If we are not aware of why a child is absent we will phone parents/carers during the first day.

Medication/Illness in School

If your child requires medication during the school day, it is important to ensure that adequate supplies are sent into school with a pharmacy label in place. A consent form will need to be signed and will require updating on a regular basis if there are any changes to medication. (Forms can be obtained from the school)

Uniform

In order to maintain a strong sense of identity and belonging within our school, we require all pupils to wear school uniform which consists of:

Meals

School meals are available to all pupils, including those with special diets.

Transport

Although parents/carers may of course choose to bring their children to and from school each day, many pupils are transported via taxis appointed by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council for this purpose. In addition to the driver, each of these vehicles carries an escort to ensure the safety of all passengers. Please complete the attached application form and submit to the school office or edtrans@solihull.gov.uk who will process your request.

Multi-Agency Working

At The Heights Academy we will be working very closely with a range of visiting professionals to ensure there is appropriate provision and support to meet the individual needs of our pupils.
