****School Meals****Your help is needed.

Good morning, dinner numbers are very low today, please, if you have not already done so, log onto your MCAS app and make your selections. Please order right the way to the end of half term. Pre-ordering is really helpful to the catering team, they know what stock to order and how many of each dish to cook each day, this helps to reduce wastage and ensures that your child is eating their preferred meal choice at lunch. Thank you for your support with this matter.

**** Upper School Driveway****

Good morning,

This is a further reminder that parking on the Upper School drive is strictly prohibited.

Unfortunately, the situation has not improved, and a small number of parents continue to park on the drive and in front of the staff car park gates. This causes significant obstruction for vehicles parked in the designated bays and prevents staff from leaving the site safely and efficiently.

In addition, several of the posts installed to prevent parking on the driveway and grass have been damaged by vehicles attempting to park in these areas. These safety measures required considerable time and effort from the Site Team to install, and it is disappointing to see them being damaged.

Please also remember that deliveries are made throughout the day, and access to this area must be kept clear at all times. The limited parking spaces available on site are reserved exclusively for Blue Badge holders. If these spaces are occupied, alternative parking arrangements must be made elsewhere.

These restrictions are in place to ensure the safety of our children, staff, and visitors. We therefore ask all parents and visitors to comply with these requirements and refrain from parking in prohibited areas.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
