We have had a complaint from a neighbour regarding the parking outside school.

People are continuing to park on junction corners, on pavements and on the yellow lines, making pulling out and crossing very unsafe.

The local police have agreed to monitor the parking outside the school and will be issuing fines to those parked on the yellow line or dangerously.

Please use the two car parks by the village hall and field to park and walk along the path to school.

Thank you

We are currently updating our sQuid school dinner money account and note there is money owing on lots of accounts.

Please log on to your sQuid account, check your child’s account and top up if necessary.  Can you please check this even if your child is not in school presently.

Thanks

After being made aware of a potential play group bubble being formed we would like to share the government guidance about what you can and can’t do during lockdown.  We are understandably trying to keep the school as safe as possible for our critical worker and vulnerable children, our staff and community.

This is the official government guidance (full document)

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-lockdown-stay-at-home?priority-taxon=774cee22-d896-44c1-a611-e3109cce8eae#exercising

Taken from the above document:

Public outdoor places include:

• parks, beaches, countryside accessible to the public, forests
• public and botanical gardens (whether or not you pay to enter them)
• the grounds of a heritage site
• public playgrounds

Playgrounds are primarily open for use by children who do not have access to private outdoor space, like their own garden. Although you can take your children to a playground for exercise, you must not socialise with other people while there.

Please open the link below to read our revised School Closure and Critical Worker School Places Policy.

If you are a critical worker and are thinking of booking a place for your child to attend school, please read through the policy carefully to find out if you are eligible.

Thanks
