Welcome back after half term, hope you all had a lovely break and enjoyed the weather!

Another busy week coming up with lots of exciting things going on for both children and parents too.

As part of our efforts to keep our school grounds safe and lower the recent levels of vandalism, we have refreshed the anti-vandal paint.  This is a sticky black paint that has been applied to the tops of gates, fences, drain pipes and low walls to discourage people climbing onto the school grounds.  

There have been signs put up to warn of the new measures today too.
