🫶 Student Safety
A big thank you to the vast majority of our parents who continue to follow the Home-School Agreement by walking and escorting their children to the school gate or door. Your support plays a big part in keeping our school community safe and welcoming.
At ODA, we work hard to ensure that every student starts their day with a warm, positive experience as they arrive at school - feeling happy, safe and ready to learn. You can help extend that feeling outside the school gates too, by continuing to:
- Escort your child all the way to the appropriate school door or gate
- Park safely away from the school site, avoiding Hunters Way and Chase Village Road to reduce congestion
- Help your child cross roads safely if needed
Our staff are here to help ensure a smooth and safe arrival for all our children. If we ever observe anything that may put a child at risk, we are required to treat this as a safeguarding concern.
Thank you for your continued cooperation in making ODA a safe and joyful place to start each school day!
