Dear Key stage 2 parents
This week has been especially difficult at home time on the KS2 yard due to the change in the weather and the start of the darker nights which have made visibility difficult.
Staff and I had some safeguarding concerns ensuring that all children were handed over safely to parents especially as some parents don’t come onto the playground but stand at the railings or remain in their cars. For staff on the gate it has also been especially difficult to monitor that these children have reached their parent safely.
We have therefore decided to review our end of day procedures in order to safeguard your children.
Moving forward from Thursday 10th November the procedure for home time dismissal at 3.20pm will be;
On another matter I have received several complaints from families and local residents due to parents parking on the zig zag lines outside the school gate. This causes an obstruction which can be very dangerous especially when children are trying to cross the road with their parents. Can I ask parents to park safely away from the school gate as it is putting the children at risk and could result in a serious accident?
I would like to thank you in advance for your co-operation as I’m sure you would agree that the safety of your children is paramount.

A great big thank you to all our parents and carers for attending Parents’ Evening on Tuesday, it was wonderful to welcome families back in to school.
Spring term parents’ evening will be on Tuesday 5th April from 3.30pm. Parents will be able to book a time slot to meet with their child’s teacher. Further information will be sent out via the school app.
I’m sure like everyone in school you have been asking “How can we help the families of Ukraine?” The children and staff have been praying for peace . You may like to share this prayer with your children at home.
The children and staff have also decided that the focus of our Lenten giving this year will be to help the children and families of Ukraine in a practical way.
We would like to support The Archdiocese of Liverpool who have organised parish collection points for essential goods which will be transported to help Ukrainian families in need .
Each Friday during Lent we are asking the children to donate a new essential survival item from the list below and then school staff will deliver the goods to a local parish collection centre. Each class will have a donation box to collect the items received and please ensure all items are new and unopened.
Essential items for Ukraine poster
The Archdiocese has also set up a text service for those families that would also like to make a cash donation to help Ukraine . Click on this link below for more information
I would like to thankyou in advance of your support
Mrs Sergeant
