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.
