Parent Forum
Thank you to all parents who responded to the questionnaire about setting up a Parent Forum.
The first meeting will be held in the Community Centre meeting room on Tuesday 9th May from 2:45-3:15pm. The agenda for this first meeting will be school reports (in response to the new guidance to schools), residential trip next year and any matters raised by attendees. All parents/carers are welcome.
Parking outside school
Could parents please refrain from parking on the zig-zag lines outside school at pick up time. This is often the only passing place for vehicles using the road.
Yellow zig-zag lines outside schools indicate the length of road where stopping or waiting is strictly prohibited. The Highway Code states that you should keep these areas clear of stationary vehicles, even if picking up or setting down children.
