Attendance and Absence

Promoting and maintaining good attendance amongst THPS pupils is the responsibility of the Talbot House community; consisting of the parents, staff and pupils. The THPS Community recognises that regular attendance at school is important for the following reasons:

• Children benefit from attending the lessons necessary to give them a good education and missed lessons may impede their progress.
• Children have the opportunity to develop socially with other children at school.
• Children who attend regularly become responsible and develop a consistency that sets a positive pattern for life, where they will develop into responsible adults.

School Discipline

At Talbot House Preparatory School children are polite and considerate to one another, to staff and any visitors to the school. They also respect people, property and the environment. The School has an escalating system of sanctions to help maintain discipline in a fair manner that may ultimately result in exclusions either fixed or temporary for serious matters of discipline.

Safeguarding Children

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and all staff, volunteers and members of the THPS Community are expected to share this commitment.

We recognise that keeping children and young people safe is paramount and as a school community we have implemented policies and procedures that ensure this is a top priority.

Talbot House respects your privacy and is committed to protect the personal information that you share with us. Generally you can browse through the School Website without giving us any personal information about yourself. If you choose to request a copy of the School Prospectus then you are required to provide some personal information. The information supplied is automatically emailed to the School, where it is entered on a database holding details of persons enquiring about the School or subsequently pursuing a request for admission to the School for a pupil.

The purpose of the information is to enable us to contact you and send you a prospectus, and to build up details of potential admissions to the School. The data is only used within the School admissions system, and is not divulged to any third party outside the School, in accordance with current Data Protection legislation.
