Announcements Continued

We would like to take this opportunity to remind parents and carers about our 'Drop Off' area and car park arrangements.

The area in the photo above is designated as a 'Drop Off' zone and is not intended as a parking bay. We kindly ask you to not park in this area and use it for its intended purpose, to pull in, allow children to exit the car and make their way into the school gates. If we are able to, as an academy, get into the swing of this now, it will make our car park more fluid and smoother as we inevitably grow as an academy.

Again, we must also stress that disabled parking bays are only used by members of our academy who are Blue Badge holders.

We thank you for your continued support and understanding in these matters.

It has become apparent of late that many pupils within our academy are wearing jewellery to school that is not in line with our uniform expectations.

For the safety of all children, jewellery should not be worn at school. Parents are respectfully requested to support this requirement to prevent loss and/or injury.

Children with pierced ears are permitted to wear small stud earrings only. These must be removed before PE lessons or covered with micropore tape (to be provided by the parent) to prevent loss and/or injury.

All children are expected to wear the school colours of navy blue and green. We politely ask and expect parents to support our academy policy on school uniform. Most of our uniform can be purchased from the school uniform retailer of your choice. However, the school tie and jumper/cardigan with the school logo can only be purchased from Brigade.
