🌐 Online Safety Update
Our November Online Safety guide for parents is now available on the school website in the Online Safety section. Each month, we’ll share tips and advice to help families keep children safe online. Please take a moment to have a look—it’s a great way to stay informed and support your child’s safe use of technology. This months guide focuses on WhatsApp and App age ratings.
Sporting Achievements
Well done to our amazing Year 2 Multi-skills team, who came second in the Preston Schools Multi-skills Tournament! The team had with fantastic energy and brilliant determination throughout the event. Everyone gave their best for the team.
🚗 Parking Reminder 🚗
We kindly remind all parents and carers to park safely and considerately during drop-off and pick-up times. Please avoid blocking driveways, parking on yellow lines, or stopping in restricted zones, as this can create hazards for children and inconvenience our local residents. We ask everyone to allow extra time, park a little further away if needed, and walk the short distance to school. Together, we can help keep our children safe and maintain positive relationships with our neighbours.
