Dear Parents/Carers
PARKING: Please can we remind parents to be mindful when dropping off and collecting children from school. There have been complaints from nearby residents due to poor parking, restricting access to their own properties and driveways. It is an offence to park or stop on the zig-zag lines directly outside school and on the surrounding double yellow lines. Cars parked on these markings put the safety of our children at risk. We appreciate your co-operation in this matter.
PARENTPAY – DINNER MONEY: All parents/carers should have received their activation letters. You will need to go to the ParentPay.com website and follow the instructions to register. Please note that balances on your accounts will be fully up to date on Fridays. If you need help with the system, please call 02476 994820.
PARENT PAY – MUSIC LESSONS: We have been advised that music lessons must now be paid via Parent Pay – you will be advised when these have been processed and added to your Parent Pay accounts.
INFANTS FRUIT CLUB: Please note that we can no longer accept cheques for fruit club. Please pay cash directly to your child’s class teacher, weekly or termly in advance.
TEMPEST PHOTOGRAPHY – CLASS PHOTOS: Proofs have been given to those children present on the day the class photos were taken. If you would like to order, please ensure envelopes are returned to school by Friday 20th April. Thank you.

TEST DATES YEARS 2 to 6 – This year’s statutory tests for pupils in years 2 to 6 will take place between Wednesday 2nd May and 9th May. These tests are statutory, that is to say every child in the relevant age groups must sit them and they can only be administered during the official time period above.

The school will not authorise holidays taken by pupils during this period.
