Robinwood residential weekend 2010

35 children and four staff had a superb time last weekend at Dobroyd Castle Centre in Todmorden. The weather was great, the children were great, the staff were great! What a fantastic way to start the school year off. A CD of photographs is available from school for a £1 donation – not to be missed.

Parking and traffic issues

Parents and carers, please be aware of new parking restrictions in the area around school. Also please check the local press for details of road closures in relation to the new Metrolink construction work which is in progress. Children’s safety is of course paramount so please make use of the school crossing patrol where appropriate and make sure children are well supervised at all times.

Family Holidays

Thank you for only taking family holidays during school holiday time. No family holidays will be authorised during term time. If your child is off school at any time due to illness then please contact the school office first thing to let us know. Many thanks again.
