Good morning A polite request to all, to please use the new car park and not the road around the school. Our CCTV shows that there are vehicles parking opposite the entrance and exit to the new car park and then cars parking on the other side of the road alongside the car park, therefore interrupting the flow of traffic. There were spaces available on the car park. We do not have any jurisdiction over what happens on the public highway, however, we are getting increasing numbers of telephone calls from frustrated parents, who cannot understand why the car park is not being used after we have fought so long to provide it. I do appreciate that there are extreme conditions today, but please help us to help you by showing consideration for all. Thank you for your continued support. Kind Regards

Dear Parents It is fantastic to see all the children back in school today and we are so pleased with how the children have started off the day. The new parent & visitors car park flowed extremely well and we have received lots of positive comments which are great to hear. The first day back to school is always a little unfamiliar, for example with children and parents finding new classroom and entrance doors. On top of this, we have also implemented a range of COVID-19 precaution measures to help minimise the number of children and parents waiting on the playground. This week we will be observing, reviewing and updating our drop-off and pick-up procedures and we may make some changes to these for the start of next week. This is a learning curve for us too and we want to establish a system that essentially maximises social distancing by limiting the amount of children and parents needing to congregate on the playground at any one time. Two quick reminders: - Please can you stand on the main playground, away from the entrance/exit points, to help ensure we have a smooth flow of foot traffic around the school site. - Please don't arrive at school before your child's drop-off time. Today we had many children and parents on site at 8:40am. I will update you this week with any changes we will be making to improve the efficiency of morning drop-off & afternoon pick-up procedures. Thank you for your support with this matter. Best wishes Mr Axon Headteacher

Please find attached the new School Dinner Menu commencing 7th September. Also attached is a 3 day menu just for this week. We are not currently able to offer the full Pick & Mix option, but instead can offer a 'packed lunch'. This will consist of:- * Ham or Cheese Roll * Fruit or Vegetable Pot * Savory such as sausage roll or cheese straw * Cookie or pudding If your child requires this option they will need to specify at morning registration whether they would like ham or cheese.
