LATE COLLECTION OF PUPILS

Some pupils are regularly being collected late from the office after school instead of the park. We understand that occasionally parents/carers may unexpectedly be late. However if you regularly arrive late to collect, we will send your child to after school club and you will be expected to pay the £7.50 charge for this club. Thank you for your cooperation.

Academy Council

Then next Academy Council meeting will take place on Wednesday 3rd December at 9.10am. We look forward to seeing you there!
