🚗 PARKING AT THE END OF THE DAY 🚙

In the school car park, every parking bay should be used and once used, parents can park in 3 rows through the middle. Please ensure all engines are switched off once you are parked to reduce the air pollution. Be aware that if you park in the car park at the end of the day there may a few minutes delay waiting for all drivers to return to their cars and exit the car park.

⚠️PARKING IN THE MEAD IS RESTRICTED AND FORBIDDEN BETWEEN 8-9AM AND BETWEEN 3-4PM. PLEASE ENSURE YOU FOLLOW THE PARKING REGULATIONS AND DO NOT PARK HERE AT ANY TIME DURING DROP OFF OR PICK UP.⚠️

A huge, warm welcome to all of our brand-new Reception families joining our school community for the very first time! We can’t wait to see your little ones take their first steps into the playground and start their exciting learning adventure.

And to our returning Year 1 and Year 2 children (and parents!) welcome back! We’ve missed you over the summer break and hope you’re all rested, recharged, and ready for a wonderful year ahead full of fun, learning, and new friendships.

As a reminder, this page is run by parents, for parents! We're here to keep you in the loop, share key updates, and support our wonderful school community throughout the year.

Here’s to a fantastic first week! ✏️✨

🎉 We made it, parents! What an incredible school year it has been! 🎉

As the parent volunteer team running this page, we’ve had a front-row seat to how hard all of our kids have worked, the kindness they’ve shown, and everything they’ve achieved this year. We are so immensely proud of them!

We also want to send a huge, heartfelt shoutout to our fellow parents and caregivers. Thank you for:
☕ Surviving the chaotic morning rushes
📣 Cheering the loudest at every school event
❤️ Providing endless love, patience, and support behind the scenes

☀️🍦 Have a wonderful, well-deserved summer break! Enjoy the temporary pause on packing daily lunchboxes, and we can't wait to see everyone back in the drop-off line, refreshed and ready, this September! 🏫

What an absolute triumph! We could not be prouder of our incredible Year 2s for their spectacular end-of-year performance. They are officially ready to take the big leap up to Junior school, and while we will miss OBIS, we know they are going to achieve amazing things in Key Stage 2!
