Spy Dog, Spy Pup & Spy Cat series

Some books in the Spy Dogs, Spy Pup, and Spy Cat series by Andrew Cope include a website link at the back that no longer leads to information about the book. Unfortunately, this link now directs users to inappropriate material that is not suitable for children.

We want to reassure you that there are no copies of these books in school, and local libraries are informed. Authorities are working to remove this content urgently.

Thank you for helping us keep our children safe online.

Community Fridge update

Our Community Fridge is being relocated over the half-term break.

As a result, the Fridge will be closed for around 3 weeks from Monday 20 October.

We will confirm the new opening days/times in early November.

Attendance challenge

As we continue our positive attendance focus, we have challenged students to attend school on time every day this week. All students who successfully complete this will receive a reward.

Please support your child's attendance to ensure maximum success at school.
