Attending assemblies, workshops and events at Uplands Manor - important reminder
If you are attending your child's assembly, a parent workshop or another event in school, please make sure you arrive on time.
We are sure you understand that, when adults arrive late to assemblies, it is very distracting for the children taking part.
Unfortunately, in future, if you arrive more than 15 minutes after the start time of an event, you will not be able to attend.
It is your responsibility to be on time.
Spare uniform needed
We would be grateful for donations of spare school trousers, skirts, plain black leggings or plain black joggers for use in school. If you can help, please send clean items into school.
