Please take great caution when collecting or dropping off children from our two entrances on the A316. It is a bike lane and bikes go very quickly along this route, especially at peak times. We are trying hard to have safety measures put in place to support this.
An incredible thank you to our generous supporters of our Amazon wishlists and stationery contribution donations! Our Early Years and Parents wishlists have both been bought up. We will continue to add to our wishlists throughout the year to support our children.
We are incredibly grateful!
If you would like to donate towards school supplies, we have two options:
Please contribute to the Stationery Contribution Pot on Arbor under School Shop items
Alternatively, we have created an Amazon wishlist with items we need across the school. We will add items throughout the term.
We have an Early Years Wishlist for our youngest learners creative resources
We would welcome children to bring items into the school office to share with their class.
Please note the school will be closed for deliveries during holidays.
