Just wondering if anyone with Y6 DC can tell me what happens in their school WRT to permission needed to leave school with an adult other than a parent / carer.
Yesterday DS finished school and was scheduled to go to football about 90 mins after school finished. The club is run at the school, but not by the school. He was due to stay at school in their after school club and do homework until football started.
What actually happened is that a friend asked him over for a playdate and he went off with that friend's parent. The parent asked for permission from me by text but only once he had left the school building. Whilst that wasn't ideal it's not the issue that I'm concerned about here. My main concern is the school and how it let a child leave with another adult without my say so.
I'm wondering what other schools do in these circumstances? The school is remote and it is not possible for kids to walk / cycle home. There has recently been a huge push on Safeguarding at the school so I was surprised that they let him go with another adult without my permission. Having said that I accept that a lot of Y6 kids in other schools do get themselves home so I'm wondering if I'm being PFB about this.
