Eid Assembly There was a great turn out of families who attended the Eid assembly last week. Well done to Year 5 for putting on such a great assembly!

Road Safety Week This week is Road Safety Week and we will be putting up banners on the fences around the school to spread the road safety message. Please help us to keep the area around our school safe by slowing down your speed, following the one way priority system in the car park, only parking in the bays and wearing seatbelts. Your child’s safety is the priority!

Parking In light of the accident outside school yesterday morning, we would advise parents to refrain from parking on The Drive, especially by the main school gate.
In addition, following further complaints of dangerous driving in the car park I am concerned to hear reports that the driver of a blue Audi, registration KE52 ZXZ was seen driving very dangerously with two children in the car not wearing seatbelts. I would very much like to speak to this person.

Five Year Anniversary/Opening of the New Sensory Garden As mentioned in our last newsletter, the school will be celebrating the five year anniversary of the school and the opening of the new sensory garden on Thursday 29th November. We would like Year 5 parents to write a few comments on how the school has changed. The comments will be collated and included in the event. These should be sent into the school office by Friday in an envelope for the attention of Bal Matharu.

It is not the responsibility of the school to provide you with an envelope, so please ensure for security purposes any payments you bring in are securely sealed.
