The Police expressed their concern that 50% of the adults and children arriving at our school in cars were not wearing seatbelts. Seatbelts save lives so please make this a rule in your car. The Police will be visiting us regularly to enforce the law on seatbelts.

Jubilee/Afternoon Tea Party A Jubilee/Afternoon Tea party is being organised by the local Neighbourhood Watch Team for the 27th May 2012 at the Frenford Club.
