For the safety of our pupils and to help keep traffic flowing smoothly at busy times, please do not park in the school car park without permission. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in helping us maintain a safe and organised environment for everyone at drop-off and collection times.

Lunchtimes

As the children are getting older and growing, their appetites are too! We kindly ask that you make sure your child has a substantial and nutritious lunch if they opt for pack lunch. Please also provide a healthy snack for morning break, as many children are feeling hungry at this time. Thank you for your support in helping them stay happy and focused throughout the day.
