Dear Parents,
We are working hard during this pandemic to ensure we follow government guidelines and keep everyone safe.
At the moment PE/Games lessons as far as possible are outside but I am aware winter is fast approaching. Please feel free to send in tracksuits/joggers/extra tops for your children to wear outside- Whilst it is preferable they are in school colours I really don’t want anyone to go to extra expense so any colour, within reason, is acceptable.
Reminder- I am still getting complaints from our neighbours.
Please have some consideration and DO NOT park across our neighbours drives. I appreciate parking in Amersham Rd is difficult but there is plenty of parking in Central park which is only a very short walk away from school.

Havering Catering Services
I am pleased to advise that as of Monday we will be offering hot food choices-I think this is especially important as we approach the colder months.
Week beginning Monday 12th October is week 1 on the Havering catering services menu. All meals are served with unlimited salad and vegetables and cost £2.25. The menu can be accessed here (it says infant school but is the menu for both infants and juniors).
Please be reminded to top up your child’s catering account as we cannot provide dinners for pupils whose accounts exceed a debt of £10.
