Dear Parents and Carers,

Firstly a reminder that next Friday (14th May) is an INSET day, so the school will be closed.

School Meals

We have an inset on Friday and are closed so we are changing the menu and having fish fingers on Thursday instead of Friday.

End of Day Safety Procedures

As the children leave at the end of the day, it has been noticed that many parents are gathering and obstructing the pavement crossing. Many children are walking on the road side of the railings, in order to socially distance. As the children leave school, please allow for enough distance between yourselves and the children. Many thanks.
