IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR PARENTS
On Thursday, 11 February, there is to be an important staff training session and therefore pupils are to arrive in school at the later time of 10.00 am on this day. The 600 bus is able to accommodate our late start and will begin its journey from Aigburth Vale at 9.30 am. Thank you for your co-operation.
I would like to point out that no lessons will be missed during the morning session; the lesson time will be shortened slightly to accommodate the later start.
Operation Christmas Child 2009
252 children suffering through war, poverty, natural disaster and disease in countries in Eastern Europe and beyond, will enjoy a special Christmas Day treat courtesy of the generosity of our school community. A big thank you to all who donated a Christmas Shoe Box filled with goodies. To have collected this amount of boxes during difficult financial times has been an amazing achievement.
