Vehicles Entering the School Site School’s Parent Governor responsible for Health & Safety, Mr James Greenlees has raised concern regarding vehicles entering the school site at the start and end of the school day. Therefore we propose to trial the closing of one of the double gates between 8.40am and 9.10am every morning and 3.00pm and 3.15pm every afternoon to prevent vehicles entering the site at these times. We therefore ask Parents and children to ensure they use the Pedestrian Gate on arrival at school with the exception of children on bikes. To avoid congestion we ask that Parents exit the school site through the single opened vehicle gate. Please be aware however that there are times when staff will arrive or leave during these times on official school business, thank you. For parents payments on line go to www.schoolmoney.co.uk

Data Collection and Consent Forms Data collection and revised consent forms have all now gone out, please amend any details, sign all the forms and send them back to school by Wednesday 27th September. Note: If your child is regularly seen by any health agencies (such as paediatricians, opticians, dieticians etc) to receive medication or ongoing support, it is vital that this information is shared with school. This includes asthma, eczema, dietary needs, allergies etc. Knowing this information helps us to ensure we are providing any necessary support for your child. You can also ask your health professional to send copies of any letters or reports to the school.
