Lost Property

Here is this week's lost property update and photos of jewellery that has recently been handed in. If you recognise any items as belonging to your child, then please ask them to visit Reception to collect them. We also kindly remind parents/carers that no jewellery, apart from a wristwatch, is permitted in school.

Please write your child's name on all of their belongings so that we can return any lost items to them. If belongings are handed in to us, and they are named, we will contact the student directly, so please ask your child to check their school email account to see if we have messaged them.
