We are expecting pupil Flu vaccination permission forms delivered today. These will be distributed to all pupils on their arrival. 

All completed forms must be returned to the school no later than Friday 10th September, as vaccines will be given week commencing 13th September. 

Vaccines will only be administered with a completed permission form.

If you require to speak with your child’s class teacher for any reason, please phone the office and speak with a member of staff who will pass your details on to the relevant teacher. You can also submit your request through our contact form above.

Just a friendly reminder that we prefer if children do not bring toys, including Poppits, into school.  Apart from the Covid aspect , there is also the possibility of toys being lost or damaged.
