YEAR 2 EXIT
Starting on Monday 7th July our Year 2 children will be exiting school via the conservatory.
PARKING
Thank you to all our parents / carers who have cooperated with school and not parked directly outside the school gates on the yellow zig zag lines. The police intend to make spot checks in the future and will be issuing tickets, so you have been warned!!
SENSIBLE FOOTWEAR
Can we please stress the importance of your child wearing sensible footwear for school. With the lovely sunny weather, we would all like to wear our flip flops, but unfortunately this type of footwear is not sensible for playing in the playground and numerous accidents have happened due to this. Also, in Nursery, the children like to play on the apparatus and need sensible shoes to enable them to do this. Thank you for your cooperation.
SCHOOL MILK
Please be aware that a school millk form must be completed and returned to school if your child requires milk, even if your child is entitled to free milk (free school meals or under 5), the form must be completed. Forms are available from the office. Thank you.
