Message from the Principal

Thank you to all who represented their children at our three Curriculum Evenings this week.

I know from speaking to many of you that you found the presentations to be informative and you were especially pleased with the booklets, which gave ideas for academic activities to do at home.

I must thank the staff for spending their own time in preparing all the materials and returning to school in the evenings.

Yours faithfully

Mrs Y L Waring M.Ed LPSH

Christmas production for parents.

This allows every child in school to be part of a public performance during this school year. We will ensure that exact dates are sent out nearer the time.

Cool MilkIf you have not yet registered or made your payment to

Please label everything – including each shoe / plimsole – children are spending lots of time looking for lost shoes!

End of Day Pick-up•Now that there are almost 180 pupils in school, the end of the school day can become very busy. Too often someone we do not know and is not on the pickup list is sent to collect a pupil. Safeguarding your child is our number 1 priority. We will not allow a pupil to be collected by a person we do not know. Also, brothers and sisters under 16 years of age cannot collect pupils. For these reasons we will be sending out new forms that will require passport photographs of those who are permitted to collect each pupil.
