The library currently has a large number of books overdue. These books have been borrowed but not yet returned. We are hoping to get as many back as possible and need everyone's help.
Please check in classrooms, bags, and at home for any library books. They are usually easy to spot as they typically have labels on their spine, are wrapped in a plastic covering, and have a barcode and stamp on the first pages of the book.
Every book that gets returned to the library from now until June 23rd will equal one entry into a prize draw. The draw will take place on 24 June 2025 with the winner receiving a goodie bag of prizes before the summer holidays.
Good luck and happy hunting!

We are removing quite a lot of the lockers through the school as most are not used.
If you have a locker please empty this by next Friday 28 March 2025 at latest and hand your key to the office. Once the re-shuffle has taken place you can get a new locker and locker key (this will only take a few weeks). If you don’t empty your locker by next Friday you will risk losing whatever is inside it.
Thank you
Ms Cook
