Uniform Shop Closed

It is with disappointment that I inform the school community that Mrs Caroline Morgan has stood down from the position of Uniform Shop Coordinator.

We are now desperately seeking the services of one or two volunteers to oversee the Shop. I regret to advise that the Uniform Shop will not be reopening until somebody accepts responsibility for its operation.
