Headlice

We have been made aware of a couple of cases of headlice in school.  Please could we ask you to check your child’s hair for any ‘visitors’ and treat as necessary. Please do not hesitate to speak to the school office if you require any advice on treatment.

Late Arrival

We have noticed a significant increase in children arriving late for school over the last week.  Please can we remind everyone that the side gate is locked at 9:00 and any children arriving after this time should enter school through the main door and ensure that Mrs Jones/Mrs Neal has seen them arrive.  The attendance registers are taken at 9:00 so any children not present for the register will be marked as late.
