Black History Month Event
As you know October is Black History month. This time is marked in a variety of ways across the school, which includes drama workshops for Key Stage 2 classes this Monday.

Office Post Box
To avoid long queues at the office desk in the mornings we are providing a post box for you to post payments etc into. Please put payments and details in an envelope and post it in the box rather than queuing to pay at the desk. Use the post box for lunch, trip and any other payments but please ensure you enclose all the relevant details in or on the envelope to avoid confusion. You may also use the box to post other forms etc. Hopefully this will improve your mornings and ensure a quick exit for you once you have dropped off your child.
Half Term Break
We finish for the half term break at 3.05 on Friday 24th October and re-open on Tuesday 4th November. We are closed on the Monday for a training day.
