Our school has been devastated by the tragic news of the death of the mother of a pupil in our school.  Our thoughts are with Damian and his children at this very painful time.

Apart from the devastating loss and heartache that Daria's death brings to the family, there are practical difficulties that this loss heaps on top of Damian as he tries to care for and provide for his family over the coming weeks and months.

A kind friend has set up a fund-raiser to help the family at this time. If you would like to help, please visit http://www.gofundme.com/Dobroniega to give what you can.

We thank you for your thoughts and kind words at this difficult time and we know that our wonderful community will support Damian and his children, both now and over the coming months and years.

Do you and your child like the service?

Is it saving you time and nerves on the school run?

Do you have spare 10 minutes of time in the morning?

WE NEED YOU!!!
