posted 24 Aug 2016, 13:06 by PTA Admin [ updated 24 Aug 2016, 13:07 ]

OK so it's not quite Starbuck's - but if you fancy a coffee in a relaxed environment just before you pick up your hyped-up off-spring, this is the place to be. You can't possibly be late for pick-up! The PTA will be serving tea, coffee and biscuits in the Lantern wing from 10.30am -12 noon. Its a great opportunity to come and meet other parents before pick-up, renew nursery acquaintances and share anecdotes about starting a new school. Why not make an arrangement with other parents to meet here instead of standing out side in the wind, rain, or sunshine. If you have questions about the school or want to know how you can support the school here's the place to find out. You don't HAVE to be new to the school either.. If you're a P1 parent for a second time or more your more than welcome..
