WINTER  WEATHER

 

As we are now well into the Winter period, it is important that all of us are reminded of our emergency procedures in times of severe weather.

 

While every effort will be made to keep the school open, parents are requested to follow the following procedures before sending their child to school…..

 

* - attempt to phone the school for information

 

* - listen to BBC Radio Bristol 94.5FM, 94.9FM, 1548AM

 

* - listen to GWR 103FM

 

* - visit the school -notices will be posted at the entrances

 

Your assistance is much appreciated as our main concern is the safety of your children.

 

 

 

THANK YOU FROM THE OFFICE

 

Thank you to everyone who has responded to our last newsletter and is ensuring that dinner money is brought into school on a Monday morning. Please note that cheques for dinner money should be made payable to “SOUTH GLOS COUNCIL”.

 

 

SCHOOL RE-OPENS AFTER CHRISTMAS…..

 

on the 7th of January at 8.45am. The register is taken at 8.55am and pupils arriving after 9.00am should report to the office first to ensure they are booked in for the correct dinner and that they can be marked in the register. Arrival after 9.00am is marked as late in the register.

 

 

Security over the holidays

 

A number of local schools have suffered break-ins and thefts recently and while the school is as secure as possible and of course is alarmed, your help would be most appreciated during the break. Should you see any trespassers (of any age) on the site please call the police on…
