Dear Parents/Carers,

Filwood Street Art

During the Easter break the local Lee Abbey community commissioned the local youth club StreetSpace to do some street art on the themes (values) of peace, neighbourliness, hope, community and friendship, these being universal values that help us communicate our faith.

Some of our pupils participated and their their names are on the wall.

You can read more about the process at https://leeabbey.org.uk/smc/2017/04/24/streetspace/

The art is on display in the unmapped alleyway straight ahead as you exit the school carpark.

Firstly a reminder that we have an INSET Day (staff training) on Monday 24th April. This means that the children will return to school on Tuesday 25th April.

New School Entrance

Great news…….the new school entrance can be used from Tuesday 25th April!  The main double gates and new smaller gate towards the new canopy will be opened each day from 8.25am.  These gates will then be closed and locked during the day from 9am until 3pm.  If you require access to the school during the day please use the intercom.

Any child who attends breakfast club will enter the school through the gate with the intercom.

The bike shed will now be back in use and will be unlocked when the main double gates open at 8.25am.
