1. Dear Parents/Caregivers
I hope you all had an enjoyable and relaxing
time with your families over the holiday
period. Welcome back to school for 2014.
A warm welcome to those students and
families who are new to Ascot School. We
hope that your children will have a great time
during their first week with us. Please let us
know if we can help in any way to enhance
your child’s transition to our school.
We also welcome Mr Jenkins and Miss Croad
who are joining our staff in 2014.
We look forward to a busy and exciting term.

UNIFORM
SCHOOL DRIVEWAY
Please do not come up the school driveway to
drop off your child as we have a number of
vehicles who need to have access such as taxis
and delivery vehicles. Too much traffic causes
a danger to our students.
Uniform is compulsory for all students. It is
expected that students wear the uniform with
pride and have all the correct items. If for
some reason your child has to wear a different
item of clothing, please send a signed note along
to Mrs Maher explaining this.
Please name all items of clothing.
