Dear Parents and Carers,
On Friday afternoon I was informed that the police had been called by the Junior School, after a man was seen on their playground who appeared to be intoxicated and was smoking.
An unidentified man was also seen smoking on our playground on Thursday. While we cannot be sure that this was the same individual, the police have been informed and as a result there will be increased supervision on the playground at drop-off and collection times this week. Please can I ask that all children remain with the adult who is dropping them off or collecting them at all times while on the playground.
If you notice anything of concern on the playground or around the school site, please inform a member of staff immediately.
Mr Pomeroy
