Due to the building work and congestion at the school gates we are going to stagger the pick up times as follows: 1. All siblings will leave at 11.30am. Older pupils will collect their younger siblings from the classrooms to escort them out of the school.
Tomorrow, March 4th, is World Book Day. Unlike previous years, we will not be marking it with a dress up as your favourite book character day and we will not have the Scholastic Book Fair in school. Each class teacher will instead mark it in a small way with their class, and we have book tokens to give out to all pupils. We shall hold a postponed World Book Day.
