Pupil Safety
Parents are reminded that pupils will be dismissed only to their parents or other named guardians. It is essential for pupils’ safety that any different arrangements are made clearly to the school office in advance. The school will not allow any pupil to go home with any other adults until this has been confirmed by parents.

Improved Communication
The School is revising its communication with parents. During the next few weeks we will start sending letters, newsletters, etc. by email. Please look out for any emails with the subject heading beginning “WPS…”Also, we will soon be using text messaging for alerts regarding delayed trip returns, etc. N.B. This week’s newsletter will be the last one delivered as hard copy.
