School Council have decided that their first project will be to raise funds to buy a 'Friendship Bench' for our playground. Our members felt this would benefit many of our pupils and would be a positive addition to our playground. School Council are now concentrating on raising funds to buy our new bench. Our first event, hosted by School Council, will be a Film Night. School Council voted for Toy Story 3 to be shown due to the film having a strong theme of friendship.

Parents are welcome to come and talk to us about medical issues. Mrs Botzet, in the school office is the first point of contact.
Below is some helpful information.

Should any prescription medicines require administering at school, a permission form has to be filled in and given to the School Office: without this no medicines will be administered.
Non-prescription medicines will not be administered to a child unless there is specific written permission from the parents.  A child will never be given aspirin or medicines containing Ibuprofen or Codeine unless prescribed by a doctor.

If your child has ongoing medication, i.e. eczema creams, asthma pumps, hayfever medication a new form will need to be completed and signed each September when pupils move into their new classes.

If you have any queries please contact Mrs Botzet on (01227) 374608
