| Parking Although parking seems to be a little better, we are still experiencing problems with people blocking neighbours driveways when dropping off and collecting children from school. We also ask that parents do not park at the top of the driveway on the zig-zag yellow lines. They are there to keep everyone safe and should not be obstructed at any time. Thank you. |
| Reminders – Please do not let your children play on the equipment in the Year 1 playground before or after school while waiting for siblings to be released from other classes for health and safety reasons. There have been sightings of children using the slide without supervision after school this week. – Friday 9th December is Christmas jumper and Christmas dinner day. We can not accept any more Christmas dinner orders now for packed lunch children as the order has been placed by the kitchen. – There will be no After School Care on Wednesday 14th and Friday 16th December |
