The Big Draw Festival for Art Club tomorrow!

I would just like to remind all children from years 3 and 4 who attend art club and art ambassadors about our Big Draw Tea Party after school tomorrow. All children will need to come to the hall for 3:15pm and any guests attending please could you make your way to reception and meet us in the hall. We are looking forward to drawing together.

Kindest regards Mrs Jukes and Ms Branton

Drop off and collection…

We have received complaints from the residents of St Nicholas’ Park about parents parking there for school drop off and collection.  On occasions residents driveways and junctions have been blocked.

Please can I ask that we are all courteous to our neighbours and make safe and appropriate arrangements for school drop off and collection.

Where possible we ask families walk, scoot or cycle to school.  Where it is necessary to drive we ask you use a local car park (e.g. Shuker, Waitrose, Specsavers) and walk from there.

Thank you for your support.
