WALK TO SCHOOL DAY It was great to see how many children walked to school last week on Walk to School Day. Over 70% of the school walked, scooted or cycled. This is the highest number we have ever had, which is fantastic! The number was so high that we ran out of badges, so extra ones have been ordered. Our next Walk to School Day will be on Wednesday 29th November. To receive your badge, children will need to walk, scoot or bike to school and then make sure they record their journey on the online Traveltracker in their classrooms. In Reception and Key Stage 1 the teachers will help. Jude Deasey Deputy Headteacher

PARKING Please do not park across our neighbours’ driveways. The same person keeps doing it in the cul-de-sac part of Brookside South when collecting from the Key Stage 1 playground. Kim and Zoe are very tired of having to speak to extremely irate neighbours regarding parents’ parking. It really does aggravate our neighbours unnecessarily, so please, please park considerately
