No doubt you will have seen that the work to build our fantastic new entrance and office work is almost complete. We just have a few bits to finish including moving the gate camera, telephones and other IT equipment downstairs. Hopefully, this will be completed next Thursday (15th) and we will be able to start using this as the main entrance to school. I am sure that you will agree that it will be a much more welcoming area for visitors and will make school safer by having a secure entrance and waiting area.
We would really love to see the return of the walking bus.
We would like to ask any parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles to help us walk children at the end of the day to Waterside car park/park.
This helps parents, carers and grandparents pick up children without trying to park along the road.
The scheme is run by volunteers and sensible KS2 children in high visible jackets.
If you can spare 10 minutes after school please contact the school office.
School swimming lessons will commence on Wednesday 21st September at New Mills Leisure Centre.
Hassop class will enjoy the first half of the year followed by Hartington. Further details will follow next week.
Timings are the same as last year : 2:20pm depart school, 2:45 -3:15pm swim, 3:30pm children to be collected directly from the Leisure Centre.
