HARVEST FESTIVAL Our Harvest Festival will be taking place on Tuesday, 21st October (please see timings above). We would be very grateful if you could send in contributions for Harvest so that we can make a wonderful display and that the goods are distributed to all our elderly people living in the local area.

PARKING We have been contacted by several of our neighbours who live on Cotswold Road regarding parents parking to dropping off and picking up times. I appreciate the road is a public highway all we ask is you park responsibly and take into consideration our neighbours and access to their driveways or disabled parking bays.
