School Photograph Order Deadline
To ensure delivery of your child’s photograph to school, Cardwell & Simon have an order deadline of Tuesday 5th November. If you place an order after this date, you will have to add postage and packaging to the cost for delivery to your home address.
Parking Responsibly
Following recent concerns raised by parents about parking in Butler Road, we would like to remind all parents / carers to be aware of traffic whilst pulling into suitable parking spaces. Park sensibly, be considerate to local residents by not parking across their driveways and, above all, ensure the safety of our children.
If you witness repeated incidents of unsafe/dangerous parking we would advise you to take the registration number of the car(s) concerned and report it to the Police on 101.
School Support Courses are available to view and enrol on.
