School information
Can we remind you that dogs are not allowed on-site at any time for obvious health and safety reasons, also we have a no smoking policy in the school grounds which also includes any form of vaping.
In the mornings by reception, if you just want to drop in a letter or return slip etc. please use the drop down/letter box on the wall.
If you would like to attend any of the maths workshops next week, please let us know via the return slip, email or verbally by the latest on Monday 25th. We will let you know by the end of the day if the evening workshops will be going ahead as we have not had many people sign up for them as yet.
We will be doing something for Children in Need on Friday 17th November – watch this space.
Remember we have asked for you not to park in the car park when dropping off/collecting your children unless you have a parking permit. Also please be mindful when parking around the school.
Tempest will be in school on Monday 25th for individual photographs, non-school siblings can have their photo taken with your school child at 8.30am – they will be set up in the hall.

Outside play equipment
The play equipment has proved incredibly popular and although we said last week that children shouldn’t play on it after school, many parents were disappointed. So we have decided that CHILDREN CAN USE THE EQUIPMENT FROM 3.30-3.45pm (at 3.45pm we expect parents and children to be off the school premises) as long as there is a parent/carer with them. Children who walk home independently must not use the equipment or children who attend West-Exe. To reiterate the fact that if a child uses the equipment after school, it is the parent’s responsibility. We will be supervising next week to ensure children are using the equipment correctly. /
