Enterprise Week

Enterprise Week 23rd - 27th May

Parent reminder: Please can all pupils bring 1.00 to school this week for our grow a pound activities during Enterprise Week. Thank you.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Due to the unavailability of staff, there will be no School Crossing Patrol provision on Corporation Road outside the school from 8th to 10th June 2016.

Parents are reminded that the responsibility for the safety of their children to and from school remains with them and in view of the absence of a Patrol, should make arrangements for children who may be at risk to be accompanied. It is, of course, expected that infants are accompanied at all times.

REMINDER: Milner Street Courtyard Junior Entrance to be closed

From Monday 23rd May, the Milner Street Courtyard area will be closed to parents. A safe fire escape route for pupils will be kept open only.
