Exciting new outdoor equipment being installed
Next week, we are having a new activity ‘trim trail‘ installed in our garden area next to the playground. Contractors will be on site from Monday to Wednesday and there may be vehicles cordoned off on the playground as well as electrical equipment in the garden. Please make sure that children are supervised before and after school and stay away from this area for their own safety. Thank you for your support. This will be a great new addition to our outdoor facilities for the children during the school day.
