Parents are invited to come along to our Christmas Service in school next Wednesday morning at 9am.  Please come along we look forward to seeing you.
As you know next Wednesday school will close for our Christmas break.  School will close at the usual time of 3.15pm.   Parents who would like to collect their child early may do so any time after1pm.  The children will go into class as usual for registration after the lunchtime bell rings at 1pm.Can I therefore ask that parents remain outside the school gates until after the children come into school.  Thank you.
