Parent/Guardian Whatsapp Warning

All schools have been notified of a new and potentially harmful feature in WhatsApp which children are joining (or being added by their friends) into a group called 'Add Everyone UK' which contains a stream of illicit and inappropriate images. As you know, the recommended age for WhatsApp is 13 years and we therefore don't anticipate this will be relevant to any of our primary aged pupils.

 Should you have older children, we ask that you read the information found at this link as a matter of urgency:

Christmas Lunch Bookings Deadline

Please be reminded that Monday 18th November is the deadline for Christmas Lunch bookings. More information can be found in the countdown below. 

School Drop Off/Collection

Please can we remind parents and carers to be considerate when parking at drop off and pick up times on roads surrounding the school. 

Please ensure that you only park on public roads and never block access to someone’s property or create an obstruction to the emergency services.

Please do not park or pull up on the yellow zig zag outside school at any time.

For those needing to cross the road, to further support Mr Ken in keeping you all safe, please can we ask that all parents use the crossroads to cross, not walk across the road directly outside school.
