Thursday 1 st October - Year 2 are leading our School Harvest Festival Service. Please could everyone bring a tin or packet of dried food in on Thursday so they can take part in the giving procession? All the food donated will go to the Street Life Charity and the Kirkham Food Bank. Thank you. Parking Outside School I appreciate the lack of parking around school and thank you to all the children who are able to walk to school which eases the congestion. However, cars are parking illegally on the pavement between school and the chip shop and the police have had to be notified. As there is a solid white line in the middle of the road it is an offence to park on the school side of the road. Please avoid this area as traffic is struggling to get through. Children and parents are also at risk trying to cross to school. Thank you for your co-operation.

PTFA Meeting Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 29th of September at 5.30pm in school. Please feel welcome to come and join us, we appreciate your support.
