NEWSLETTER Friday 2nd February

Dear Parents,

We are once again gathering a lot of lost property which we are unable to return to the owners because the items are not named. I appreciate school uniform is not cheap and it is frustrating when items go missing but we cannot guarantee finding lost items if they are not named.

Just a reminder-we are trying to ensure packed lunches brought into school are healthy and so do not expect to see sweets or chocolate bars in packed lunch boxes. If a child’s lunch box contains either of these they will be taken from them and returned to you at the end of the day.

Please respect our neighbours and refrain from blocking their drives as we have had several complaints from local residents this week. Your support in this matter is most appreciated.

Well done to our boys football team who won the Harold Hill football league last night after beating Pyrgo 2-1.
