MISSING VISITORS LANYARDS
Help! We have a lot of missing visitors lanyards (red – given out by the school office). If you have helped out on a school trip or an activity recently, please can you check to see if you have a lanyard at home and return to the school office. Thank you.
MOBILE PHONES IN SCHOOL
A quick reminder about mobile phones in school. We do not permit children to bring phones into school. We understand that if your child walks to and from school alone, you may want a way of contacting them. If you feel it necessary, then we will allow your child to bring a phone but it must not have access to the internet or have a camera. This will allow your child to be contacted whilst safeguarding them and others against issues with online safety and damage to expensive property. If your child does bring a phone to school, it needs to be handed to the class teacher where it will be securely locked away until the end of the day.
