Wrist Bands and Card Sets

We have noticed some children are wearing plastic wrist bands with inappropriate names and wording.  These are not allowed so please would you ensure that your child does not bring them into school.

We would also like to ask that children do not bring their card sets into school (eg Pokemon and football).  They are easily lost and this causes distress to the children.

Thank you.

Car Park Safety

Please may I ask parents who are  collecting children from Jungle club in the evenings to park outside school and not on the car park . This is because the car park does not have any lighting and there is a danger that pedestrians crossing the car park may not be seen.

Jungle Club parents may use the car park to drop children off before 8 in the morning but after 8 please park outside because of the risk to pedestrians after 8.00 a.m.

 

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and

expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
