School finishing time

This is a polite reminder to all parents that school finishes at 3.15pm - all pupils are to be collected by this time.

We do not provide a child care service for children who are not collected in school - our late club with Miss Hughes is for emergency situations only. We are having a number of children who are not being collected until after 3.40pm on a daily basis.

If parents have children in other schools to collect first, please contact our Out-of-school Childcare providers who run a childcare provision from 3.15 - 5.30pm in our canteen building. There is a small charge for this service.

Please contact:

Natalie on 07835307402 for more details.

Eco-Council News - Can you help?

St Andrews Eco-council are organising a fund raising drive to support eco initiatives in school.

We will be holding an old clothes collection day on Wednesday 29th November to collect old clothes and shoes for charity.

Could you possibly fill the Rags 2 Riches bag or a black bin bag with good quality second hand clothes and shoes that you or your children no longer need? The bags need to be returned to school on Wednesday 29th November.

Any contributions will be gratefully received - please use collection bags, black bags or large carrier bags.
