Parents Information Evening

Wednesday 21st September

We would like to invite you to our beginning of the year information meeting. Parents are invited to the school hall where our principal, Ms Wickham and deputy principal, Ms Howard will briefly welcome you and share some whole school information for the new academic year. Parents will then be invited to visit their daughter's classroom and meet their teacher. Teachers will go through expectations for their class for the year. This is an opportunity to visit the school and learn about the day to day on goings in school. Please note this will not be an opportunity for individual meetings. Individual parent teacher meetings will take place in November. We look forward to seeing you on the 21st September.

Notices

COVID

COVID- children will continue hand hygiene and classrooms have HEPA filters in use and are regularly ventilated. If your child develops symptoms of COVID e.g. high temperature, diarrhea please keep them at home until they have had no symptoms for 48hours.

Access

Thank you to all who have made efforts to park and stride. Our school is still awaiting installation of bollards from the council. Please note parents and children are not permitted to walk/cycle in the driveway or through the driveway entrance under any circumstances.

New toilets

There is high excitement amongst students following the installation of our 3 new toilet blocks. The mirrors are a huge hit! Well done to the Student Council for your efforts in pursuing the upgrading of the toilets. You won!
