SMS Test

Thank you to all the parents that gave feedback following our emergency SMS test last week, we identified that the way some phone numbers are stored was disagreeable for the system. We will run another test once the manual work of going through all parental contacts is completed.

 

Cultural Diversity Day

Please click on the story below to read about the upcoming Cultural Diversity Day taking place on 20th May:

St Anne's Infant School - Cultural Diversity Day

 

Drop off and pickup

Please can all parents ensure that they read the following to ensure that busiest times of day can happen without incident:

• Parents to have eyes on their children / younger siblings during the busy school pickup.  Sometimes the children get swept along with the crowd and go up the ramp not realising that their parent/carer is not behind them.  
• Parents and children to stick to the one way system - it's only an extra 10 yards to walk and helps prevent collisions and injuries.
• Scooters and bikes to be walked out of the playground - again, this is to prevent collisions and injuries.
• Dogs - we don't object to dogs being brought on the school run, but must be left outside of the school gates, the one way system still applies and if the dog in question does not 'play nice' around other dogs then please don't bring them onto the school site.

 

Class Photos

• These will be taken on Wednesday 13th May. Please can all school age children be in FULL uniform for this day and come to school with buttons done and hair brushed beforehand (if applicable) so we can hit the ground running on this hectic day.
• Nursery families have received information seperately.
