Please do not block the area close to the school warden and allow the First Class parents space to collect first. It is understandable that areas are busy initially as pupils and parents get used to the new entrance and exit points. You will find things will settle once the new routines become established. 

We really appreciate your cooperation in using the one-way system and not blocking up driveways for our local residents. For our pupils and School Warden’s safety please do not park close to the School Warden crossing point. 

GETTING TO SCHOOL

We encourage walking, cycling and scooting to school as much as possible. Foxrock Church have very kindly offered spaces for a park and walk system. If you do have to drive to school, we operate a morning and evening one way system.

PLEASE LABEL YOUR BELONGINGS

Please label all your belongings with name and contact number. Clothes and belongings found with no names will be donated to charity at the end of each month. 

MONTHLY FOCUS

For the month of September, we will focus on manners, courtesy and respect. This focus is not only for when boys are present in the school building but also as they represent us in the community. We are immensely proud of our boys, both past and present, and we take great pride in hearing how well they are looked upon in our community. We continue to focus on kind words and kind actions and the great saying ‘If it is not nice, don’t say it. If it is not nice, don’t do it.’ Boys can take this mantra with them everywhere they go.
