Current roadworks in Poole and surrounding areas

11 Oct 2018

Dear Parents/Carers

You may be aware that there are currently roadworks around the Civic Centre and Parkstone Road area in Poole. There are other roadworks in the Poole and Bournemouth area including Holes Bay and the A338. This is having a knock on effect, and unfortunately causing some of the taxis and minibuses to run later than normal.

Work started on the Hunger Hill Roundabout in the centre of Poole Monday 8th October 2018 and temporary traffic lights and lane closures have been put in place for several months. This is causing delays for pupils travelling in the Poole area and even further out, with drivers trying to find alternative routes. During peak times two lanes will be open between 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm, this may mean that your child is later getting home as the traffic may build up.

If your child is not collected by their normal time please allow 5-10 minutes, if this does not improve please do not hesitate to contact School Transport on 01202 634250 or via email: schoolmeal.transport@poole.gov.uk as we might need to adjust timings.

Macmillan Coffee Morning

05 Oct 2018

Dear All,

Thank you for supporting the Macmillan Coffee morning either by attending, giving money or donating cakes. 

The main point of the coffee morning was to raise money and awareness for Macmillan Cancer support and this year we raised £264.75. 

We could not have raised this much money without all of your help and support.

Thank you from the Year 12 Post-16 Pupils.

Resource Donations

28 Sep 2018

Dear Parents/Carers

I am looking to increase the variety of gross and fine motor skills opportunities in school for the children, resources your children may have grown out of eg Play Mobile, Duplo, Mega Blocks, small world characters, action figures, jigsaws, gardening tools, sand and water toys and turn taking games such as the Hasbro range. Please could I ask you check that games and jigsaws are complete.

Any donations will be gratefully received.

Many Thanks

Mr Tim Davis
