Dear Parents/Carers,

Welcome Back!

It has been lovely to see all of the children again this week. So many of them have returned in smart new uniforms and are ready for the new school year.
A special welcome to our new Reception children and their families — we are delighted to have you as part of the Reedley Team.


Safety Around School

Please help us keep our children and school community safe:

🚫 No Parking in Staff Car Park
Parents/carers should not drive into the staff car park, including for Breakfast Club drop-off, unless an agreement is in place.

🚶‍♂️ Use the Pedestrian Path
When walking to or from the school office, please use the designated pedestrian pathway — even if you’re on your own.

🚗 No Parking on Zigzags or Yellow Lines
Drivers must not park or stop on:

  • Yellow zigzag lines

  • Single yellow lines

This applies during drop-off and pick-up times.
