THANK YOU
We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who brought in shoeboxes for the Ukraine Appeal. We have passed them on to the collection point; they will be transported on from there to those in need.

PLEASE LABEL CLOTHING
It’s getting to that time of year where the children are taking jumpers and cardigans off as they get warmer as the day goes on. Please can you ensure all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your child's name so that we can reunite items with their owners at home time.

SAFETY REMINDER
Please can we remind parents and carers that whole grapes present a serious choking hazard. If you are sending grapes as a snack or in packed lunches, please ensure they are cut in half lengthways, or even better in quarters.

COVID GUIDANCE POST APRIL 1ST
As you will know, as of April 1st, free Covid testing has ended for the majority of people as part of the government’s plan to remove remaining restrictions on society while protecting the most vulnerable from COVID-19.
Click below for a post from the Department of Education outlining how they see this impacting on schools. We hope to have more operational guidance from them soon and we will update you next week as to how this will affect the daily organisation of the school.
