Dear Parents
Year 2 Parents – It has been brought to our attention by the Admissions Team that only 71/73 pupils from the Infant School have requested places at the Junior School. If you have applied elsewhere, please make us aware to enable us to prepare for transition. If you have forgotten to apply for a place at Juniors please telephone the Admissions Team on 01629 537479 as a matter of urgency.
The school nurse will be having a ‘drop in’ on Tuesday, 9th February at 8.55am in the Activity Room should you wish to discuss any medical concerns you may have about your child.
Coats – can I please ask you to sew on a coat hook on your child’s coat? We are finding that coats without hooks are falling on the floor and are getting wet, dirty and trodden on.
UNICEF/Haiti – we collected £234.30 for this charity – thank you for your support.
