Walk to School Week
The walk to school week proved very successful. The ‘Travel Chicken’ was very impressed by the efforts made by both pupils and parents to walk to school, that he made a number of personal appearances throughout the week. The children enjoyed getting involved and receiving a certificate at the end of the week, in recognition of their efforts. Let’s keep up the good work throughout the year, in accordance with our travel plan.
It would be appreciated if all parents used the one way system suggested in the Parent Pupil Handbook around Richmond Road so that congestion is avoided.

School Gates
As you know we have had some new metal gates installed at the front of the school, which we are very pleased with. Would we ask that parents please make sure they are kept shut when entering or leaving the school premises. We have asked the children not to use the larger gated entrance at any time due to the parked cars. Thank you!

Illness Notification and Absence
If your child is going to be off school due to illness, would you please contact the school first thing in the morning to let the office know. Also, if your child is unavoidably late coming into school, they MUST be signed in at the office. These measures are in place to safeguard your children.
All requests for absence must be sent directly to Mrs Maggs-Wellings, preferably by email and in good time, and she will do her best to reply as soon as possible – headmistress@lyonsdownschool.co.uk
Thank you for your support!

French Cafe
Vendredi dernier, J’ai organisé un café français dans la bibliothèque avec l’aide des élèves de l’année 6. Leurs parents et grand-parents étaient conviés, ainsi que le personel de l’école. Les filles étaient très excitées l’idée de vendre, acheter et servir les pâtisseries en français pour les invités. Il y avait une ambiance très française ce matin-là à Lyonsdown!!!
