• Driving and Parking around School Grounds

  Fri 12 Dec 2025

  Dear Parents

   

  Please can you support the safety of our school community by driving and parking around school grounds in a considerate way. We have recently been sent a complaint about parents regularly     obstructing residents’ driveways, and unsafe      driving behaviour. Double parking is also forcing families to walk their children up the centre of the road because pavements become impassable.

   

  I am sure you will agree that this poses a risk to all involved.

   

  Thank you for your support.

   

• Nuts in School

  Fri 12 Dec 2025

  Due to a number of children in school having nut  allergies that may require medical intervention, we would appreciate your support in ensuring your child does not have nuts in their packed lunches. Thank you for your support and understanding with this.
