• Coats please!

  Tue 27 Sep 2016

  Please make sure that your child always comes to school with a coat. While the weather is still relatively warm, a light waterproof is ideal. We endeavour to get the children out the break and lunch, even if there is rain in the air.

  Please make sure that all uniform and belongings are clearly named. Thank you.

• New scooter shelter

  Fri 23 Sep 2016

   

  Installed over the summer, we would like to thank the S&PA for purchasing our new scooter shelter. It has really tidied up the edge of the playground, allowing safe and dedicated storage for scooters. As you can see from the pictures, it's already being well-used.

  

• Laser pen/pointers

  Tue 13 Sep 2016

  Please do not allow your children to bring laser pens and pointers into school. They are not toys, and with a variety of power outputs available, we cannot tell from visual inspection whether or not they could be potentially dangerous. For this reason, all forms are banned.

   

  Please reinforce this message with your children. Thank you for your support.
