Reminder: At the end of the school day the main corridor needs to be kept clear. Please wait in the dining hall for children from Units 2/3/4. Please use Unit 1 Outside doors for collecting from Unit 1. This will ease congestion in school. Thank you for your support.

Early Arrivals
Children who arrive at school, without an adult, before 8.30 a.m. will be put into Early Start Club – they are not allowed to wait alone in the entrance. This is to ensure your children’s safety.

Free School Meals
If you are entitled to Free School Meals you do need to claim – please see Mrs Meek in the school office for information (even if you are choosing packed lunches for your child). By the way children can choose a sandwich option from our ‘pick and go’ menu.

Early Start Club/Tea Time Club
If your child is attending Early Start or Tea Time Club please would you leave school via the appropriate outside door and not walk through the building. If you need to speak with a member of staff please walk around the building to the reception area. Thank you.
