We are excited to launch our family snowman making competition. Building on the success of our autumn pumpkin decorating competition, we invite you all to make a snowman that can sit on school window sills during the winter months. We hope that the following pictures will inspire you.

Please bring your entries to school as soon as they are ready. The competition will be judged in the final week of term so you have a couple of weeks to make your entry. Please label you snowman clearly and make sure that he is able to sit on a window sill (which is 25cm deep). 

We would like to remind families that the school office is staffed until 5pm. Staff are not employed to work in the office between 5pm and 5.30pm. 

This means that families who have pre-arranged an occasional early collection from Lates must come to collect their children before 5pm.

We are happy to facilitate early collections if you need to get your child to an after school activity e.g. a swimming or music lesson. Please email [email protected] to pre-arrange a before 5pm pick up time in these circumstances. 

Please note that we do not offer flexible pick up arrangements outside of this given the disruption it causes within Lates. Activities are planned to come to an end in time for the 5.30pm finish and staff need to be able to focus on tidying up with the children, making sure that everyone has their belongings, and securing a safe handover.

Our school gates are programmed to open at 5.20pm in preparation for the 5.30pm collection time. Please make sure that you are not late to collect as our staff need to leave promptly at the end of their shifts to get to their own families.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Don't forget to order by Monday to get free delivery to school.

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Mr Toth and family for their very generous and kind donation of a 3D Printer.

We are sure that the children will find it really interesting and we are eager to get started. Mr Toth left it printing with us this morning and it's already caused a great deal of excitement!

Monday 2nd December - Friday 6th December will be WEEK 2

Given that we had no internet access in school yesterday, we are not able to confirm LATES bookings today. We will get back to families early next week.
