• Thumbs Up

  Mon 26 Sep 2016
  Thumbs Up will be holding workshops with our F2 children throughout Wednesday morning. They will be looking at feelings, emotions and compassion towards ourselves and our friends and classmates too. We also feel it would be a fantastic idea to get you – the parents, grandparents and carers to be part of this.  Therefore we are inviting you to join us in a 40 minute workshop. You will learn about what Thumbs Up will be doing with the children.  There will also be ideas to support you if there is any particular issue that you may be struggling with.  You are more than welcome to bring younger children too.

• Pick Up & Drop Off

  Thu 01 Sep 2016

  School Keep Clear Markings

  You must not stop, park, nor pick up nor drop off passengers on areas shown by school keep clear markings.

   

  Arriving at school

  Can I please remind all parents and carers that the road to the side of the school and the school car park must not be used to drop off children at any time.

   

  This is for the safety of all children. Mr Davies continues to patrol this area at the beginning and end of school and in all weathers for this reason.

   

  We are aware of parents who wait until after 9 o’clock to enter the area once he has returned to his other duties. Not only is this highly frustrating but it means that some children are also regularly late for the start of the day.

   

  Please do not drop children off in the side road.

   

  ​The school really appreciates your support in this matter.

• 'International' activities.

  Thu 01 Sep 2016
  Recently all our children were engaged in a range of 'International' activities. We had Chinese, Bengali and Arabic storytelling workshops. Some of our children also learnt about life in the Mediterranean. A Polish policeman also visited our KS2 children. We finished our 'International' activities with some Arabic storytelling. It was a great event.
