Online Survey Questionnaire 

We are currently investigating the possibility of introducing a system which would provide parents and carers with the opportunity to make secure payments to school over the internet.  The system would enable parents to pay for items such as trips and activities directly into the school’s bank account and reduce the need for pupils to bring payments into school themselves. 
 
We are very keen to find out whether you as a parent or carer would find this system to be of interest.  We would therefore appreciate it if you would kindly take a few moments to complete our short questionnaire.
 
Thank you for your help.
 
Kind regards
Lesley Hill
Finance Support Officer

School Uniform

The new school uniform range will be displayed in school each Wednesday 3.30pm-5.00pm.

Different sized samples will be available to try on and orders can be taken via the school as from Wednesday 5th May. Orders placed will be sent through to the company; garments will be available in school between 10-14 days after the order has been placed (the turn-around will reduce in due course). 

After extensive testing by a group of parents, we are confident that garments will be of significantly better quality than those available in the recent past. 

Should the above arrangement be inconvenient for you in terms of the times of opening, you may wish to visit our supplier, NCA Embroidery and Printing, directly. They have premises at Unit E, Boons Industrial Estate, Derrington Lane, Stafford ST18 9NQ.  Directions - A518 Stafford to Derrington (under M6 motorway bridge), turn right sign posted Derrington (follow signs auto reclaim), follow the road 500 yards Boons Industrial Estate on the right directly ahead as you drive in. 

Their opening times are; 

Monday & Tuesday 10am – 5.30pm 
Wednesday CLOSED (open at school)
Thursday & Friday 10am – 5.30pm
Saturday 10am – 1pm

Payment can be made by cash or cheque in school and chip and pin facility is also available if visiting the premises.  

Payment in full will be required at the time of ordering. 

Any queries about uniform should be made to Mrs Hartley or Miss Stoves at school who will be happy to help.
