Health and Safety

Now that the hot weather is with us please send children with hats. You might also want to apply a long lasting sun block so that they do not burn. Water bottles are of course allowed in class.

Parking

Please do not park in the school driveway. This blocks access for emergency vehicles, coaches and deliveries. A few parents are still putting our pupils at risk.

Head lice

Parents please beware – as there have been some reported cases of head lice in the school it would be advisable to check your child’s hair regularly.
