We do not have a car parking facilities on site.

Our school gates are closed at all times and vehicles are not allowed on site between 08:10 - 09:00 and 14:45 - 15:30. The school is situated on residential roads and we ask parents to park legally and with due consideration for our neighbours. Our car park/ blue badge guidance can be found here.

Yes, your child can cycle if they are accompanied by an adult or you give permission for them to cycle alone or with friends. A secure cycle park is provided on site.

No, all children in key stage 1 must be accompanied by an adult. If you wish for an older child to walk to school alone we must receive a permission letter from the parent with parental responsibility. This information will be held on their data collection sheet.

We encourage healthy eating and expect parents to choose healthily when creating a packed lunch.

An example of a healthy packed lunch:

• A sandwich (no peanut butter)
• Yoghurt and a piece of fruit.
• Bottle of water or juice.
• No sweets, fizzy drinks, nuts or chocolate

Parents must either sew a name label into all clothing or write the child’s name in indelible ink. If an item goes missing your child must inform the class teacher and class teaching assistant to look in the classroom and on the playground/field. We will do our utmost to find lost items but we are unable to provide a replacement.

We offer varied support in the transition from primary to secondary school. This process includes a parents’ meeting, workshops and transition booklets. Due to our geographical location, our pupils go on to various secondary schools across Warrington including Kings Leadership Academy, Birchwood High School and Padgate High School.

Usually children join Reception class in the September before their 5th birthday. Please see the school prospectus under the Admission section and for further advice you can speak to the school office staff.

Yes no problem. Please speak to a member of our school office staff. Newsletters are always available on the school website and a link to these is always tweeted out on our Twitter page.

We would discourage parents from trying to talk to a teacher in the morning as they are busy preparing for the school day. We would advise you to speak to the teacher at the end of the school day after all the children have been dismissed. We can also make appointments in the school office for parents to see the class teacher or another member of staff.
