Dear Parent/Carer

Following the refurbishment meetings yesterday led by G Jarvis, N Goodchild and F Grant, I thought it would be useful to clarify a few points.

• The refurbishment of Millbank Primary is an exciting opportunity for our school. The money for the project is linked to the condition of the school, for example, the roof, heating, etc. The money cannot be used to replace our existing whiteboards.
• The Nursery will be decanted to Lady Cathcart on 26 May 2015 for the duration of the project. The security of the building has been assessed and essential works will be completed before Nursery classes commence there.
• Contact with the Nursery will still be through the school telephone number – 01542 831113.
• Parking at Lady Cathcart is very limited so please be aware of this at drop off and pick up times. Nursery can be flexible and drop off can be between 0850 and 0910h.
• The hall and main reception areas including my office will be out of use from August 2015 – November 2015.
• Hot meals will continue to be served in another location of the school.
• Because of the hall being out of use we will have to look at ideas for the successful delivery of PE. If you have any ideas please let us know.

The time ahead is an exciting and no doubt challenging one for the community of Millbank Primary School.  We need your help, understanding and ideas so please support us through the Parent Council.
