Safety alert

Following the attempted abduction last week, we received the following email this afternoon (Thursday) from the Local Authority:

Further to the incident that occurred in the Weston Rhyn area last week, a similar suspicious incident occurred in Oswestry on Tuesday this week.  

Our advice to schools is the same and our Crime Prevention Officer suggests some stranger-danger guidance in assemblies and to consider informing parents and advise pupils and students not to walk to/from school alone.

We would like to assure parents and guardians that we have spoken to all children about stranger awareness and keeping themselves safe but if you have any concerns please do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff.

Food Bank Donations – Reminder

The co-op will be collecting the donations we have made to the Barnabus Food Bank this Friday morning. The box will be in Reception until then if you wish to make any donations.

 

Operation Christmas Child – Shoeboxes

We are taking part in the Shoebox Appeal again this year and children will be bringing home a leaflet with all the information this week. This is completely voluntary but in previous years we have always found that the children are keen to take part. Filled shoeboxes can be left at the main office and need to be returned to school by Monday 14th November. Thank you in advance for your support.
