SANTA TRAIN COMPETITION Congratulations to the 5 families whose names were drawn from the hat. We hope you have a fabulous time on the Santa Train. SICKNESS & DIARRHOEA If your child has the sickness and diarrhoea bug please remember our policy of staying at home for 48 HOURS after their last episode. This period is in place to try and combat the spread of sickness and diarrhoea throughout the school. PARKING A reminder that cars are not allowed on site between 8:30 – 9:30am and 2:30 – 3:45pm (Only Staff Cars and Resource Base Parents allowed during this time). We ask that you do not use the drive or use the car parks during school drop off/pick up times and especially not to park in front of the school gates (which are to be kept clear at all times). This is for the safety of the children and cars parked will be challenged and asked to move. LOST EDUCATION Last week we lost a total of 429hrs of education due to absences. Best Wishes, Stacey Budge Headteacher
