School Notices

Arrangements for morning drop off - the school day begins at 8.55 am. Both school gates open at 8.45am and the main gate closes promptly at 8.55am.

The West Hill gate at the rear of the school remains open until 9.05am to allow parents of Little Ducks to leave after the main gate closes at 8.55am.
Summer Reading Challenge at Godalming Library - Godalming Library have enjoyed seeing all of the children come in to sign up and tell them about the books they have been reading over the summer holidays. So far, they have had over 600 children register and over 200 children finish the challenge. Please remember that they still have time to go to the library and tell them about the books that they have been reading as the challenge finishes on Saturday 23^rd September. If they have been able to read 6 books over the holidays, they will receive a medal and certificate to show that they have completed the challenge. If they are not able to finish, they can still go and receive some prizes, as there are prizes for books for every book that they read.
Individual School Photos - the school photos will be taken on Thursday 28th September. Please read the letter on the Parent Portal for more information.
