Cycle Safety
4^thClass are taking part in their cycle safety course, learning lots of ways to help them to be safer cyclists!

School Uniform
A reminder that it has been decided that we will change to wearing a white T-shirt with the tracksuit from now on. Yellow T-shirts are being phased out, but may still be worn. As these need to be replaced, please do so with white ones. Please note that the school uniform (tracksuit) requires plain bottoms (no logos), not leggings. Thank you.

Parking
We remind you of the need to be patient and considerate to ensure safe and convenient parking for all. If you are using the ‘overflow’ car park to the rear of the school in the evenings, please drive slowly and be vigilant. Please note that staff area spaces are reserved for staff only. Thank you.
