Welcome to the parents' page on our school website. You should find school notices and information here. If you require any further details, please contact us. Health and SafetyPeople are not allowed to enter or exit the school grounds by climbing over the wall and railings. It is extremely dangerous. Please use the gates even if you think you may be late.
Animals are not allowed on the school grounds. It is upsetting to many of the small children to see dogs being brought into and around the school. There is no supervision of children until they are collected by their teacher at 8.50am. Please stay with your child on yard or make arrangements with another parent to do so. If you arrive to school after your child’s class has gone in please walk around to the front door to get access from the office. From May 21st all doors will be closed after the classes have entered. Please be mindful of the language used and topics discussed when you are in the school yard. There are hundreds of small children around and we do not want them exposed to inappropriate conversation in the grounds. Now that the good weather is here (hopefully!) please remember to put sunscreen on your child before school every day.

All money raised will benefit the children in school. Come along with your family and friends and please encourage them to sponsor the children generously.
The walk will begin at 2.00 p.m. sharp so please assemble at the school in good time to register before the walk. There will be crisps and a drink for the children after the walk and a disco in the school hall until 4.45 p.m.
Safety
Each junction on the walk will be manned by volunteers (parents and teachers) to ensure the safety of the children. Please co-operate with these stewards and only cross the road where there are stewards on duty.
Teachers will lead the school walk. Please do not set off on the walk before these teachers, as stewards may not be in place along the route before 2.00 p.m. and some of the crossing points are dangerous.
If you would like to help at the junctions and crossings please sign the slip that was sent home and return to the school by Wednesday, October 5th. Volunteering to help means that you must remain at your allocated junction for the duration of the walk. Volunteers will not be able to accompany their children on the walk.
