Thank you so much to all the parents who are
dropping their children off at the bottom of the stairs.
This is enabling classes to start at 9.00am and several
children have said they enjoy being more independent
and coming in themselves!
Can we also ask that parents wait at the bottom of the
stairs if picking up children from clubs. Staff will
bring the children down to you rather than parents
waiting outside classrooms. It can get a little confusing
with children who are attending our After School Club
for child care and those at other clubs, so we hope by
waiting in one place we will know who is where!
Thank you to those parents who have popped in to see
us about claiming for free school meals/ pupil
premium. We really appreciate your support.
