Headteacher’s Comments
Thank you for everyone’s patience this week with regards to the new arrangements for collecting children at the end of the day. There have been a few teething problems and these are being resolved. Please remember to contact the school if there are any changes to the arrangements at the end of the day, by sending a letter in with your child that day or contacting the school office.

Alice in Wonderland Day
Thank you for your support today. All the children who dressed up looked brilliant in their ‘Alice in Wonderland’ costumes.
Poppy Appeal
Thank you to everyone who donated to the Poppy Appeal, we were informed that we raised £125.82.
Parking
Again I have to ask parents and grandparents not to pull in and park in front of the barrier at the front of the school. Yesterday I witnessed a grandparent park in front of the barrier making it extremely unsafe for families to cross the slip road, especially when he tried to move away. Parents should park up where it is safe and walk onto the school site.
