Morning traffic arrangements

Since the beginning of term 1 we have been piloting a new system for vehicles.

Between 8.20am and 8.45am no vehicles, apart from staff and essential car users, are allowed on to the school site.

All pupils are to be dropped off outside the school gates where a member of staff will be to ensure their safe passage into school.

This is part of our Travel Plan to ensure the safety of pupils and to ease congestion at the beginning of the school day.  We greatly appreciate your cooperation with this.

 

After school clubs

Due to the popularity of after school clubs last year, there are now five running:

(all below are 3pm to 4pm - parents/carers to make own arrangements to pick up at 4pm)

Tuesday - Dance (with Mrs Jory) changing to Wednesdays from 10 March          

Football (with Bristol City coaches)
