Wear odd socks to school on Monday 10th November!

To mark the start of Anti Bullying Week 2025 (which this year has the theme Power for Good) we would like to invite all pupils to wear odd socks to school on Monday 10th November.

Odd Socks Day is designed to be fun! It is an opportunity to encourage children to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique!

There is no pressure to wear the latest fashion or to buy expensive costumes. 

All you have to do to take part is wear odd socks to school on Monday 10th November.

Across the week we will be talking to the children about how they can use their 'Power for Good' to speak out, support others, and build a world where kindness wins.

You can find out more about Anti Bullying Week by visiting the parent and carer section of the Anti Bullying Alliance website which also contains useful resources you can use at home.

Our school car park is exceptionally small and can become very congested - for this reason we try and restrict use of this by parents and carers at the start and end of the school day.

This is especially important now that the have clocks gone back and the days are shorter with darker mornings and afternoons / evenings.

If you are using the car park - particularly to drop off or pick up children from MaxiMums - please make sure that you drive slowly and carefully onto and out of the school car park at all times.

Please also make sure that children are supervised carefully in the car park to and from your vehicle in the morning and afternoon / evening

It is vitally important that everybody who is on foot uses the the footpath at the side of school to enter and exit the site, and does not cut across the car park and go through or under the barrier.

This entrance / exit is not meant for pedestrians.

We know it is a longer walk around to use the footpath but it is the safer option and we must ask that parents / carers take this option especially now that the days are shorter.
