Hi all,

We have had a fabulous first day at our Book Fair and we look forward to the other classes visiting tomorrow. Just a reminder that we are open after school tomorrow until 4:15 in the small hall. Please enter via the white doors which were used for parents' evening. There will be staff nearby to help and direct. We are a cash-only book fair and will not be able to accept cards - apologies.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Miss Jordan

Hi all,

We have a very busy week next week with all things reading!

Just a reminder that on Monday and Tuesday next week, we will be hosting our book fair. All children will have the opportunity to visit the book fair during the day on either Monday or Tuesday. If you would like your child to make a purchase during the day, please send money into school in a named envelope with your child. We have stationery and books on sale at prices from 50p to £4. Lots of our books are less than half their retail price! We will also be open to parents on Tuesday after school (3:15-4:15 pm) via white doors which were used for parents' evening. Staff will be on hand to support and direct. Please remember that we are a cash-only book fair and are unable to access card payments.

Also on Wednesday next week, we look forward to seeing all of the children's amazing reading competition entries (design a bookmark or design a book in a box). We have made space in our libraries to display lots of the amazing creations. Prizes are all ready for the winners!

Don't forget World Book Day on Thursday and is our dressing up day. Also on this day the children will be bringing home either their World Book Day voucher or their book which was pre-ordered.

Hope you have a great weekend.
Miss Jordan

Dear Parents/Carers, 

Some of you may be aware that last week, on the zebra crossing near the roundabout at the Nursery end of our school, an adult and child were knocked down by a car whilst crossing the road. From the reports that we have had from families who witnessed the accident, there was a vehicle parked partially on the pavement which likely obscured the driver’s view of the pedestrians at the crossing.

Fortunately, on this occasion, although this is very concerning for all of our school community, it appeared that neither the child or adult were injured. However, incidents like this show that we have to be vigilant as pedestrians but also remind us that the parking restrictions that are in place in close proximity to the school are there to keep our school community safe.

When families are not adhering to the restrictions and are parking on double yellow lines, on zig zag lines close to crossings and parking partially or completely on pavements then people’s lives are being put in danger. We must urge all of our school community to park legally, responsibly and respectfully in our school neighbourhood.

The Council and Communty Police have been notified about the incident last week and as much as they will continue to support by sending our community police officer and traffic wardens, as a community our actions can ensure that we are never in the awful position of needing to report a serious collision or injury that could have been avoided. We know that parking near to school can be difficult but the Lyndon Pub continue to allow us to use their car park facilities before and after school to reduce the number of cars parking near school. If you travel to school in a car, we ask that you make use of this park and stride facility.

Thank you for you support and co-operation in this particularly important safety issue.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Chamberlain        Mrs Gray
