MAN IN BLUE VAN BEHAVING IN A SUSPICIOUS MANNER You may remember that there was an incident reported near Church Hill School (before the Christmas break) of a man in a blue van loitering around the school. The police have been looking for this man since then and I am very pleased to say they have now found him and have taken him in for questioning. He was spotted behaving suspiciously again by a member of the public who took his registration number and reported him to the police who picked him up immediately. We all need to be vigilant and if you see anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, please report it to us or to the police. Most of the time there are very innocent explanations but it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

LEVEL 1 BIKEABILITY TRAINING We have been offered a free course, run with the London Borough of Barnet and Cycle Confident. It is open to children in Year 3 and 4 who have a bike and would like to take part (and have not done it previously). Over the two days they will learn some of the basics of safe cycling. The training will be run by qualified instructors in the school playground. There are lots of places available but will be offered on a first come, first served basis. If you would like your child to take part and they have a bike, please contact the office to be placed on the list.
Details about dates will be provided if we have enough names on the list.
