Early Closure Easter 2025 Transport Update
The Easter school closure on Friday 04th April 2025 whereby all schools close at 2.30pm will no doubt have an impact on pupils who access school transport. We have many linked contracts that serve both primary pupils as well as secondary pupils across both mainstream and ASN schools.
To ensure efficient transport provision on this date and to ease congestion, all contractors will arrange to collect primary children at 2pm and secondary pupils thereafter at around 2.30pm.

PE Kit Letter
Dear Parent/Carer
We have noticed that there has been a lot of children forgetting to bring PE kit to school on their PE days. This results in children being unable to take part and having to sit at the side. Could you please read the attached letter and ensure that your child brings a PE kit to school on the days allocated to their class.
Thank You
