Dear Parents and Carers,

It has been another positive week in school, and we have now all settled well into the new school year.

This weekend our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with the Royal Family as the country prepares for the Queen's funeral on Monday. We have talked about this historic occasion in school and some classes have watched some of the events that have happened this week.  

I hope you all have a restful weekend and I look forward to seeing you back in school on Tuesday.

Kind regards

Mr Marks

Headteacher

NO NUTS in School

We would like to remind parents and carers not to send their children in with nut-based snacks for breaktime or food containing nuts as part of their packed lunch, for example chocolate spread.

We are a NO NUTS school to ensure the safety of those children who have a severe allergy to nuts. We would be grateful for your support in helping to protect those children who are vulnerable.  Please double-check the ingredients of products if you are not sure if they contain nuts or not.  Thank you.
