Payment for toast
Please can we ask that payments for toast be made on Monday of each week. This helps to manage our classroom token system more effectively and ensure that there is enough toast for our children.
Lost Property
To avoid children losing items of clothing, please can names be written on all clothing your child wears to school.
Thank you.
