This morning there was an unfortunate incident in the car park. A car coming down the hill towards school, despite repeatedly beeping had to swerve and mount the kerb, where families were walking, to avoid a car reversing out of the car park. Please do be very careful when manoeuvring in the car park, particularly when reversing onto the road.
On Tuesday we had a new phone system installed. The phone number remains the same but please be advised, as noted in the message, that all calls are now recorded.
