Dear Parents

We have organised and funded two days for the children to enjoy outdoor learning locally.  The dates will be Monday 4th July and Tuesday 5th July, in order not to incur coach costs, which would have to be passed onto the parents, we would very much appreciate it if the children could be dropped off at a drop-off point near Copsgrove at 9.15am and picked up at the drop-off point at 2.45pm.  A map is available from the school office.
