The London Marathon - Great Ormond Street Hospital

Mr Lawlor is running the London Marathon to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital after his daughter Ada received life-changing care there following an epilepsy diagnosis and brain surgery.

Ada began having seizures at just six weeks old. After being referred to Great Ormond Street Hospital, she was diagnosed with epilepsy and later underwent brain surgery at 18 months.

Throughout every stage of Ada’s treatment, GOSH provided exceptional care, guidance, and reassurance for his whole family.

Any donations would be hugely appreciated as Mr Lawlor aims to raise as much money as possible for this incredible hospital.

Please click this link: Justgiving, or anywhere on the poster to donate.

Summer Uniform - UPDATE

When we come back next term children need to be in Summer Uniform.

The updated uniform policy is being drafted and will reflect feedback from the children, from you, from the staff and from governors. We expect the new policy to rolled out over next term and into the autumn term. In will start from after the October half term.

There are a couple of changes for the summer term. From next term the summer dress changes from green striped to green checked. Checked dresses are far more easily available and until the switch to Winter uniform checked and striped dresses can be worn.

In addition - from the start of the summer term - children can wear invisible small (flat see through) earrings in school.
