EYFS Noticeboard
Please take time to look at our new EYFS noticeboards situated in the Nursery outdoor area and just outside the doors that Reception are released from. These will give lots of important information regarding up and coming events in our school.

We have a preloved clothing rail in Reception. You are welcome to come and take any item that your child needs. Please help us by keeping the rail tidy and only taking the item you really need.
Can you help us by donating any uniform, shoes or coats that your child has grown out of?
Uniform items and coats need to be in good, washed condition, with no holes or rips and names removed. Shoes need to be in good, clean and wearable condition.
Please bring donations to the School Reception in a bag.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you very much to everyone who has already donated uniform. We are very grateful.
