Early Years: Winter clothing and Wellington boots

Dear parents / carers,       9th October 2014

As you are aware in Nursery and Reception we go outdoors every day, even in ‘bad’ weather.  In fact there is no such thing as ‘bad’ weather, only bad clothing.
Please can you ensure that you send your child in with an appropriate coat, for the Autumn / winter.  Raincoats are best for wet days.  And hoods are a must as we never quite know when it will rain!!!
Also, we would like every pupil to have a pair of wellington boots that they can leave in school to wear as necessary as the ground gets wet and muddy.  Please send these in with your child’s name clearly inside each boot at your earliest convenience.  We will store them in school.

Many thanks

Parking

1^st October 2014

Dear parents,

I am sorry that I have to bring this up again but I am frequently getting complaints about how some parents’ park and drive down Shortcrofts road. While I know this does not apply to the vast majority of parents, there are still a few parents who continue to park inconsiderately on this road.

We are getting numerous complaints about parents parking illegally. Please note that you CANNOT park on a dropped kerb, or STOP on the zig zag lines to drop off children. Parking illegally on roads near our school and driving quickly down this road puts children’s safety at risk.

The Local Authority are taking complaints about road safety around schools seriously and receiving more complaints could mean that parking on Shortcrofts Road could be even more restricted for parents.  They are also sending wardens, which could mean if you are parked illegally you could receive a parking ticket.

So in the interests of children’s safety please park properly and considerately.

Could I also remind you that if you are dropping your child off, you must do this safely, which includes not blocking the road for other road users. If you need to ensure your child has gone in safely you should park correctly and walk your child in.

Thank you to the vast majority of you who do park considerately, as this means children can come to school safely.

I hope that I will not have to write again regarding this.

Yours sincerely

 

Mrs. A. Lipski
