If your child/ren currently use the school bus - but you will not need the service next year - please e-mail me to let me know.

Transition to Secondary School
At our next coffee morning, we have a topic of particular interest for parents with children moving over to WIS for Year 7 this coming academic year and the next - the current Year 6 and Year 5.
We are very pleased that Mr. Guy Hewson, Director of Learning from WIS, has accepted our invitation to be at the Coffee Morning, to discuss the transition to secondary school.
Parents whose children are going to another ESF secondary school are also welcome as the transition process will be very similar.
Although of particular interest for these year groups all parents are very welcome.

- Place: Staff Room - 2/F
East Wing Sail
Over this year and the next couple of years, in addition to our donations to the school library, most of our donations to school are focusing on adding value to the ongoing improvement works to the school.
This year has seen the opening of our fabulous refurbished hall. The PTA was pleased to contribute to the upgrading of the sound and light systems to ensure that they are the best that they can be.
Over the Easter holidays the PTA paid for a sail to be installed on the East Wing roof, bringing some much needed shade for students in that playground. Extra shade will also be provided for the North Wing Rooftop playground.
