From today, the way you get in touch with your health visitor is changing. As more staff are back working in the office each health visiting/school nurse base has their own contact number. If you are unsure how to get in touch with your Health Visitor please speak to any member of staff and we will be able to help.

 

Catch Up & Coffee will now take place on Monday 3rd October at 2.15 p.m. within the GP Room in the school. We would love to see you there 🙂

Hi everyone, it has been so lovely welcoming back our existing families and getting to know all of our new families too. We are keen to plan some family learning evenings, workshops, drop ins and possibly some courses and in order to do so we would like to gather some feedback and ideas from you. Could you spare a few minutes to complete the following survey please.

Thank you in advance for your contributions.

After a very long wait we are finally in a position to be able to welcome back our families into the nursery! We are all so excited for this and hope you are too. We look forward to sharing our wonderful new environment with you all and to show you all of the amazing play opportunities on offer to your child. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch 🙂
