School Steps
Following a recent inspection by our Facilities Manager, please be advised that improvements are required to the steps and have therefore been condemned. We welcome visitors to our school and their safety is paramount. Due to costs, the steps will be out of action for the foreseeable future. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Match-funding
Did you know that some employers will allow employees time off work to volunteer in school and will also match any funding raised? Last year Santander Bank donated £2500 to match fund money raised by our PTFA which was then spent on projects to benefit every child.
Companies such as those listed below also operate similar schemes. If you can help us in any way to raise additional funds for school we would love to hear from you.

their child if the school session has already passed and you still wish your child to be vaccinated.
Their dedicated appointment telephone line will be open throughout November and December from :
9.30am to 3pm Tuesday and Wednesday
9.30am to 12 noon on Thursdays
The clinic appointments are reserved for children that have missed their school date for whatever reason but must be booked in
