Dear Parents / Carers

It has been lovely to see everyone back in school this week.

Colour Banded Books - We are missing a number of our colour banded books. Please keep an eye out for the colour banded books at home and send them back into school with your child.

Magazines for Children - If you are subscribed to magazines such as First News, The Week Junior, Happy News or National Geographic Junior, and have copies of these in good condition that you no longer need, please email the office FAO Mrs Mannick if you would be happy to donate copies to the school. 

Spring Term clubs - details of clubs are available here. Please sign up again for Spring Term clubs as we start a new register each term. We will be sending emails next week to confirm places in school run clubs 

Deanway traffic lights - we have been advised by Affinity Water that there will be traffic lights on the Deanway on Tuesday

Lagger Close - dangerous tree - we have been advised by a local resident that there is a tree at the end of Lagger Close with split branches - this will be dealt with soon but please be aware if you are passing that way
