We come to the end of what has been another very busy half term at Mead. Time for us all, Staff and children alike, to recharge our batteries and hopefully come back to school refreshed and ready for whatever challenges are presented to us.
Parents, we seem to be running out of spare clothing in KS1- if your child comes home in any items of school spare clothes for whatever reason please ensure they are returned.
I have had numerous complaints from parents/carers this week about adults swearing on the school site-Please refrain from using foul/abusive language in proximity to our children-it is amazing how quickly they pick up inappropriate language.
Diary Dates
WE COME BACK TO SCHOOL ON MONDAY 25TH FEBRUARY
