With Halloween fast approaching, we know this can be an expensive time of year with the added pressure of buying costumes etc. We keep  a supply of children’s costumes in school for borrowing. These will be available from next week in the foyer. Please feel free to come and have a look. Similarly, if you have any children’s costumes you no longer use/need please hand them into the school and we will add them to our collection.

Since returning to school following the summer break, we have had a number of school cardigans/jumpers without names on (mainly from our infant department)  handed into lost property. Our Lost Property is situated within our main foyer. If your child has lost any items of school uniform please double check in our Lost Property.  Items will be kept there on a weekly basis and if not claimed on a Friday will be automatically added to our Uniform Exchange.

Can we please ask that Parents/carers make sure that their Parentpay accounts have a balance on them at all times to prevent your account falling into minus.

Thank you
