Health & Safety Mrs A Lindley
Can I please request that parents refrain from dropping off students within the school grounds prior to the
start of the school day. Students should be dropped off in the bus bay and walk down the main route into
the school along with students who either walk to school or who are brought in on the school buses.
Can I please remind any parent who needs to enter the school for meetings/appointments that there is a
speed limit of 10 miles per hour.
Thank you for your assistance to ensure the safety of our staff and students.

the Youth Councillors were surprised to find a dog calmly sitting on the tube enjoying
a ride. Upon arriving at the station we headed towards the Houses of Parliament
and saw Big Ben standing proudly and majestically in front of us. Once we had been
searched and let in, the first thing we saw was Westminster Hall, it was amazing to
look at and when we got through Westminster Hall we walked to the main entrance
and met Dennis Skinner. He showed us the robing room where the Queen sits when
she comes to Parliament. She had a very fancy chair and her own special toilet
(which we did not get to see as it was behind a locked door!)
Dennis Skinner then gave us a tour of the House of Lords, which has red seats, and
the House of Commons, which has green seats. The House of C
