Update from Hampshire Fire Service

We have received reports that there have been a number of small fires set in the locality recently. Schools across the trust have been contacted  to relay the message that this is unsafe and against the law. Fires have been set in the local parks and the area behind the Botleigh Grange Hotel.

As always we will work with the local policing team should any information be passed to us but we urge that if you witness any of this type of behaviour that you contact the local policing team as well.

We know that the large majority of the young people in the community behave beautifully and respectfully, however the minority that engage in these behaviours are putting themselves and others at risk. Please talk to your child about the dangers of playing with fire and the potential consequences.

 

#talk2us

We have listened to student feedback and updated our #ineedsupport form and renamed it #talk2us

#talk2us is an online form that students can fill in at any time if you have any concerns or would like some support. Everything they write on the form is confidential and we will find a time to discreetly talk to them and address their concerns.

It can be accessed via the wellbeing section of the website

Nut Allergies - important information

The beginning of the academic year is a good time to remind ourselves that a number of students and staff at Wildern have severe allergies to nuts. It is imperative that there is a strict avoidance of this food in order to prevent a life-threatening allergic reaction and we ask that students and staff do not bring nuts into school to support our safe school environment.

Any exposure to nuts may cause a life-threatening reaction that requires emergency medical treatment. To help reduce the chance of this happening we ask that you do not send your child to school or on school trips with products containing nuts.

We appreciate your support with these procedures.

Student Services

We are always open to support all students between 8:45am and 3:30pm. The best times for students to drop in are:

11:10-11:25am - Breaktime

1:30-1:55pm - Lunchtime

3:00-3:15pm - After School

If students need to attend during lesson time they must remember to register with their teacher and collect the pink lanyard before they come.
