We are now operating with two Slots, A and B.
We would ask that all pupils are ready to exit their cars with coats and bags ready to go. The mornings can be very busy and we wish to encourage a constant flow in and out of the car park.
We would ask that you stick to your time slots to avoid confusion and to maintain a constant flow of traffic particularly when collecting.
At times with forgotten bags etc classes may be out just after their slot.
Please come within your ten-minute time slot ONLY - Many are not!
Pupils from P3 up should be able to enter their car at collection time without assistance.
On collection only Staff will walk pupils to cars in the interest of safety.
Our event on Friday night raised a massive £1684.50. This money will be divided between Little amps and Ampertaine as agreed.
We have a brilliant Ampertaine community who came out on Friday night and enjoyed the fun.
