Welcome to our school community!
Thank you for choosing Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre as your child’s preferred school. We are delighted that your child will be joining us and look forward to welcoming you to our school community. This section of our website provides important enrolment information about our school. This information forms part of your enrolment at Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre and you are strongly encouraged to read it. New families are also encouraged to read our Parent and Carer Handbook before their child joins our school.
Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre is a paperless organisation. We will never ask you to complete paper-based forms.
Family Hub is integral to this approach. It provides families with a wealth of information about school attendance, how we manage allergies in school, resources to support both your and your child’s mental health and wellbeing, and resources to support you with keeping your child safe online. It also provides up-to-date information about school lunch menus, calendars and links to our weekly e-newsletters.
Most importantly, Family Hub enables you to report your child’s absence from school online, notify the school of a medical or dental appointment online, apply for term-time leave of absence online, and complete medical forms online.
Please be advised that if you visit our School Office for any of the above reasons, our Business Support Team will refer you back to Family Hub to complete the relevant online form.
If you do not have access to the internet at home, our Business Support Team will support you with completing these forms via a tablet computer in our School Office.
Please take some time to familiarise yourself with Family Hub before your child begins school.
Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre is part of Operation Encompass, a national scheme operating jointly between schools and police forces.
Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools, before the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has experienced domestic abuse.
As a school, we have ensured that a member of our staff, known as a Key Adult, has been trained in Operation Encompass procedures, allowing us to then use the information that has been shared in confidence to support the children in our care.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 identifies children who experience domestic abuse as victims of domestic abuse in their own right.
We are keen to offer the best support possible to all of our pupils and believe our participation with Operation Encompass benefits everyone involved.
