Please let us know if anyone other than yourself will be collecting your child so that we can keep our records up to date. As children grow older, we recognise the need to foster more independence to help them start to be ready for the move to high school. With this in mind, many of our older children, in years 5 and 6, have permission to walk home alone once their parents feel that they are ready to do so. Our Walking Home Policy details what you need to you if your child is in Class 4 and you feel that they are ready to do so. ### Walking home Walking Home Policy 2024 - 2028 195 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/aberford-primary-school/files/documents/Walking_home_policy_September_2024_-_2028.pdf) ### Our School - [Headteacher's Welcome](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/welcome) - [Church of England School](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/SIAMS) - [About Our School](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/school-day) - [School Uniform](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/school-day/school-uniform) - [Walking home from school](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/school-day/walking-home-from-school) - [Admissions](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/admissions) - [The Curriculum](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/curriculum) - [Early Years Foundation Stage](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/curriculum/eyfs) - [Performance and Data](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/assessment) - [SEN](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/SEN) - [Safeguarding](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/safeguarding) - [Pupil Premium and Sports Premium](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/Statutory-Documents) - Data Protection ![Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School ](https://files.schudio.com/aberford-primary-school/images/logo/logo-footer(4).png) ### Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School School Lane, Aberford Leeds, West Yorkshire LS25 3BU 0113 2813302 0113 2813302 ### Useful Links - [About Us](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/school-day) - [Term Dates](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/term-dates) - [Admissions](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/admissions) - [Contact Us](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/AberfordPrimary) ### Translation © Copyright 2016–2026 Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
