There is no free snack provided for children in Years 3-6. Parents in any year group can allow their children to bring in a snack from home, but this must be either, fruit, vegetable or dry carbohydrates (eg bread sticks or rice cakes).
Travelling to School Most people walk or cycle to school and there are bicycle racks inside the school grounds to safely lock up bikes. We request that parents do not park in School Lane to collect or drop off children as it is a private road. We do have a bus lay-by but this is not available for general parking from 8.40am to 8.55am and from 3.15pm to 3.45pm, as we need to ensure the children can board and leave the bus safely from the pavement.
