Welcome back!

Dear parents and carers,

I hope you have had a wonderful summer break and are ready for the school year. Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd are INSET days for staff training, the school will be closed for children. The school opens for children on Friday 4th September – please ensure the children are in school on time (8:45am) so they do not miss any of their first day back with their new classes and teacher. We look forward to welcoming you back then.

Kind regards,

Ms Thangarajah

E-Safety

Social media (including all apps, sites and games that allow sharing and interaction between users) is a fact of modern life, and as a school, we accept that many parents, staff and pupils will use it. However, as stated in our acceptable use policy, which all members of the school community sign, we expect everybody to behave in a positive manner, engaging respectfully with the school and each other on social media, in the same way as they would face to face.
