School and nursery summer pictures but who can you spot having fun in the sun? The summer holidays are just around the corner and schools and nurseries across the High Peak have been enjoying the last days of term in the sun – as you can see in these photos.

❗ LOST PROPERTY ❗

The lost property rail in the school office has been replenished with all unnamed items lost this term. Please call in and take what you think is yours. The rail holds all school uniform. The red basket underneath holds all the PE jumpers and the grey basket is filled will other items.

All named items have been returned to their owners.

It would really help us, to help you, if all items are named. The best (and cheapest) way to do this is with a sharpie marker pen.

Any uncollected PE jumpers will be donated to charity at the end of the term.
