Safety in school grounds

I really need your help parents and remind you:

That we operate a 'drop off zone' and a one way system. We have had a few 'near misses as parents have not followed the one way system and have 'cut off' across the flow of traffic, to park in the area beside the canteen. I am very fearful that we will have an accident.

That you need to be so careful when dropping off children. Pupils should disembark onto the pavement- not onto the road/ car park side, where cars are busily trying to depart.
When driving off from your'drop off position' that you need to be mindful of other cars coming up from behind. We have had a few 'near collisions' re this.
That buses are being held up when some of you stay too long in your 'drop off' position. I have frequently seen the bus unable to take the bend to get to its drop off position because some of you have left your car unattended or are delaying your departure to make phone calls etc, unaware that your vehicle is blocking the way.

I know that with your support we can make the process safer for our school community.

Paying tribute to the lives of former staff members of St Colman's Abbey PS or St Clare's Convent PS.

At the time of amalgamation it was agreed that funerals of staff of the former schools would not be attended by pupils from the newly amalgamated school. This was to avoid anyone being overlooked due to current staff being unaware of former connections with the schools.

That seemed like an appropriate arrangement at the time. However, having personally attended recent funerals of deceased former staff, I have become uneasy with this arrangement. Therefore, it will be modified as indicated below.

The family of a deceased member of staff of Abbey PS or St Clare’s PS, who retired from either school may request a school representation at their loved one’s requiem mass. If the mass is taking place during school hours and in a local church, we will try our very best to facilitate the request. Requests may be made via telephone 02830262175.

We cherish the contribution that former staff made to both schools, from which we grew.

Important

NUT ALLERGIES

Please do not send any types of foods containing any type of nuts into school for lunches as we have children with severe nut allergies. These items include biscuits and bars with a nutella type filling or croissants containing hazlenuts or any other types of nuts.

We cannot allow products in school if the label states; "may contain traces of nuts."

Food containing any types of nut product will have to be confiscated.

Can all parents please check the labels on food being sent into school to ensure there are no traces of nuts.

We have been advised by the Allergy Nurse not to accept Horse Chestnuts / Conkers.

Please help keep children safe while in St Clare's Abbey.

Prosimy nie dawacać dzieciom do szkoły żadnych rodzajów żywności zawierających jakiekolwiek orzechy, ponieważ mamy dzieci z silnymi alergiami na orzechy. Artykuły te obejmują herbatniki i batoniki z nadzieniem typu nutella lub rogaliki zawierające orzechy laskowe lub jakikolwiek inny rodzaj orzechów.

Żywność zawierająca wszelkie rodzaje orzechów będzie musiała zostać skonfiskowana.
