Party invitations: Please can we politely request that parents hand out invitations / cards to parents discretely before or after school. Please do not hand it directly to the child. If you work full time and are never at school, please pass the invitations on to a friend to hand out. Please do not send invitations in with your child and ask them to hand them out, or ask our staff to do this for them. Many thanks for your cooperation. 

Toys and games: Please can parents check their child’s school bag and pockets for toys, games, trinkets, notebooks, handbags with little bits and bobs inside etc. These cause issues in the classroom and playground, cause friendship problems, anxiety and take attention away from teaching and learning. Thank you for your support.
