The temporary administration office is now constructed in the school hall with administration and senior executive staff moved into this accommodation. There was some interruption to telephone and internet connections during the move and we thank parents for their patience and understanding during the move. I would also ask parents to be mindful of the limited parking available both on-site and in adjoining streets as a result of the building works underway and to not attempt to park in the school grounds.
