Going Home Messages
For Safeguarding, if there is a change to your child’s going home arrangements please can we ask that you let the teacher know in the morning or call the office as early as possible. Unfortunately if the message is received after 2.30pm we are not always able to contact the class.
Communications from School
Our new communications system provider has made us aware of a possible problem you may have encountered where parents with a ‘hotmail’ account may be having problems receiving e mails from the school. Please can we ask you to check in your junk or spam mail box for any e mails that have been sent and then mark them as not junk or spam.
