Our youngsters have been busy again during the last wek or so. On February 20th years 2, 3 and 4 took part in an athletics competition between 7 local schools. They all did a splendid job, coming 5th, well done to all those who took part! Also on February 20th Clive Hemsley aka Emazdad visited the school to talk to the children about road safety and the importance of being aware of our surroundings when crossing the roads. The children were very engaged in the discussion and Mr Hemsley had a wonderful raport with the youngsters; the school would like to thank him for taking time out to visit the school and look forward to future visits with him. The Parish Council has had concerns lately over the safety of pupils arriving at school for the start and at the end of the school day. Cars have been parking on double yellow lines while dropping off students and the school bus also drops off pupils causing quite a hazard. Members of the P.C met outside the school to see for themselves what happens at these crucial times. After their observations, several of the councilors met with staff at the school to try to find a solution to a very tricky problem.
