Please do not bring cars into Church Street, or park in such a way as to cause an obstruction, or danger to pedestrians or other road users.
Parents'/Carers' cars are not permitted on school premises, unless there are exceptional circumstances (please ask at the school office for more information).
8.55am. The school day begins for all children. Children should arrive before this time and go straight in to their classroom, so they are ready for the start of the school day. If you are delayed, and the gates are closed when you arrive, please accompany your child to the main entrance. If you know that you are going to be late, please let us know, if possible.
