I have had a few concerning reports of a driver/drivers driving the wrong way round the one-way system in the car park!  To add this to all of the other concerns we have about the car park is almost unbelievable.  If you see anyone doing this, please report them to the police.  If you yourself are prone to such a dangerous manoeuvre, please DO NOT DO THIS!

We are asking your opinion on School Photography and would like to see what appetite there is for school photographs this year.  We understand that the cost of living is a huge concern for everyone, and we want to make arrangements whilst taking in account of Parents’/Carers’ views.  The survey asks about:

• Frequency of photographs
• Cost and quality
• Preference of photographer
• Types of photographs you are likely to want

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by clicking HERE.

We are looking to put together a team of volunteers who will be able to support the school from time to time.  Support can be required for things like:

• Class/Group Trips
• Support with local walks (to the library/church/local sites)
• Supporting small groups with learning in Literacy/Numeracy
• Supporting Parent Council Events
• Offering your services in some other way

We know that not everyone is available all of the time due to various commitments, so there is an option to select days and times which suit you best!

Please take a moment to complete and submit the form by clicking HERE.

Please click HERE to register.  The link above will only work in a PDF version of this flyer.

Week one menu for lunches this week!

The first meeting of the Parent Council is planned for Tuesday 6th September at 6pm.  ALL Parents/Carers are very welcome to attend.

For now – we have not cancelled the meeting but this is dependent on what happens with the planned industrial action on 6th/7th/8th September.

If the meeting goes ahead, it will be in person, in the school Dining Hall.

Please come along to support the work of our school and the work of our Parent Council.

All welcome!
