- Personal8 September 2023Thank you!Thank you to all our parents and children for a brilliant first week back at our lovely school. Well done to all new starters for settling so well. I have seen fantastic work and behaviour from your children this week - they have worked hard. I am proud of them. Apologies to all for the middle gate late opening today - I have asked the site team to look at this first thing on Monday. May I remind all parents that the one way system is in use for the safety of all on our site. Please do not double back. Please follow the yellow arrows and remember that the path around the top field is just for Y6 children as the steps are steep at the far end. Wishing you all a lovely weekend and I'll see you all on Monday on the drive! Enjoy the sunshine Mrs Poole
