General

Stationery
Stationery can be purchased via Qizzle and delivered to your home. The link to which is available under "Parent Information" from December through to the second week of term 1. Stationery is then available through the school office and will be delivered to your child's classroom or collected from the office.

Money and Valuables at School
Parents are asked not to allow their children to come to school with money or valuables, as these things can be lost or go astray. If money is brought for school purposes, it must be in a named envelope and should be handed to the class teacher at the beginning of the day.
