A Kind Reminder to Our School Community We kindly ask our families to park thoughtfully and avoid blocking driveways or access points when dropping off and collecting children from school. We are very lucky to be part of a supportive neighbourhood and it's important we show the same respect in return by not inconveniencing our neighbours. Thank you for helping us maintain good relationships within our community.

Lost Property Reminder With the lovely warm weather this week, many children have taken off their jumpers during the day and as a result, our lost property pile has grown rapidly! Please make sure all jumpers and school uniform items are clearly labelled with your child's name so we can quickly reunite them with their owners. If your child is missing any items, feel free to pop into the School Office and check our lost property collection. Thank you for your support!
