Parents’ Area Login
Welcome back. We now embark upon a no doubt very busy and exciting 2013/14. It is good to see so many new faces and we have welcomed new staff who seem to have found their feet very quickly. I am pleased to say that our developments are nearly finished and that the evidence will be revealed in all its glory over the next two weeks. We will, later in the term, be organising an official opening for the Sports Hall. Watch out for details to follow.
