Charties and Fundraising

The school actively supports a range of charities and fundraising activities organised by the pupils and these take place on a regular basis each term. Our School Council for pupils in Key Stage 2, the ‘Buddy System’ for Key Stage 1 playtimes and the school responsibilities undertaken by pupils in their final year, all contribute fully to the life of the school and its place in the community. Recent links were to Demelza House, Great Ormond Street Hospital, ‘Make A Wish’ and The Red Cross our current charity.

Cars and the local neighbourhood

The area around the school becomes extremely congested at both the beginning and end of the school day and Parents are therefore encouraged to walk with their child and leave the family car at home.

The school grounds are private property in the sense that they are owned and kept by the Local Authority for children’s use. It is important to be aware that you may not be insured against accidents on private property.

Access to the school site by car is required to be authorised by the school and is via the automatic barrier.

Dogs

Dogs are not permitted inside the building and on the playgrounds unless prior authority has been sought from the Headteacher. Guide Dogs would be the exception.
