NEW BIKE SHELTER
Near the basketball court you will find our new bike shelter.  Please do use it if you cycle to school.  It is covered and has bars to lock bikes on to - so no more wet saddles and rusty chains!  The bike shelter was
fully funded by a grant from Sustrans (the sustainable travel charity) and we got it as a result of the work we've done on our School Travel Plan.

 

TABLE CLOTHS - Some of the white table cloths that are used for Hall events have gone missing. Does anyone know where they are? Please let the office know.
