Book Rental/School Contribution (Costs)
Thanks to everyone who has paid. Through the book rental scheme we try to keep cost as low as possible. The benefit to families is often greater in the senior classes. As previously explained the school contribution pays for the services provided for your children such as materials for art/science, assessment tests, photocopying, 24 hour personal accident insurance, etc. As we have to pay many of these costs in advance we would appreciate payment as soon as possible. Thank you.
Book Grant
Families who qualify for the “Back to School Clothing Allowance” are also eligible for the book grant. Please let us know.
School Tracksuits
Tracksuits ordered during the summer are now overduefor collection. No further orders can be accepted.
Parking
A reminder to parents that the junior playground is open for parking around 3 p.m. to facilitate collection.
Healthy Lunch
As part of our policy we are asking that parents do not send sweets, crisps (and similar snacks), chocolate, fizzy or energy drinks to school please. We would also ask you to be careful about the quantity of food sent in as children may feel they need to finish everything and that is not always the case.
