Flu Vaccinations

Flu Vaccinations will be taking place in school during Wednesday 24th November for children in Reception to Year 6. Please read the information in the school news section and complete the online permission form to ensure that your child gets vaccinated.


Contact Details

There have been a number of occasions in the last couple of weeks, when school has struggled to get hold of parents via the phone. We only ring during the day if absolutely necessary, and I fully appreciate that it may be difficult to answer the phone during the day, particularly if you are at work. However, it is vital that school can get hold of someone during the school day in case there is an emergency. Therefore if you are unable to answer the phone during the school day, please give the school an alternative number to ring.

We appreciate your support in this matter.
