We have a number of surplus books in school that we would like to make use of, rather than throwing them away. Therefore, we will be placing these books outside the Community Hub tomorrow (weather permitting) for you to take, free of charge. Additionally, please remember that any surplus milk and fruit is also always available to take away, free of charge, from the Community Hub on Fridays. We hope you can make use of these resources!
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will be provided with a free school meal tomorrow! We encourage all families to take advantage of this opportunity by ensuring your child enjoys a free meal on Census Day. It's a great way for your child to experience our delicious school meals; it also benefits the school by securing funding. Check out our menu here

In an effort to improve the safety, efficiency, and overall experience for our Year 4 children, we are making an amendment to the way in which they are handed over to responsible adults at the end of each school day. This change will affect all parents who typically use the Clifton Street Car Park entrance, as this entrance will now be closed during the afternoon school collection period. This change will take effect from Monday, 13th January 2025. The gate will remain open in the morning for drop-off, but will be closed at the end of the school day. Please ensure that you access the school site using either the Wrights Lane or Clifton Street entrances for afternoon collection. A separate and comprehensive communication will also be sent to all Year 4 families regarding this update.
