OFFICE STAFF UPDATEWith the retirement of Mrs Pascoe there will be some changes in the office from September:
Mrs Hulley joins the team as Finance and Premises Manager and will be responsible for Finance, Buildings maintenance, Personnel and Governors.
Mrs Miller will be Office Manager, dealing mainly with Pupils, Parents, Office Administration, and Headteacher support.
Miss Simpson and Mrs Reeve will give their invaluable support to the school continuing in their current roles.
SCHOOL DRIVE AND STAFF CAR PARKWe are finding that some parents are driving up the school drive into the staff car park or onto the back playground to drop off their children in the morning, or to collect them after Nursery Lunch Club. Please note we cannot allow these areas to be used by parents as drop-off / collections zones, except for after school clubs. May we politely ask parents to use the car parks in Framlingham or to park safely where it will not be a nuisance to local residents.
We are aware of the difficulties that the loss of the crossing patrol on College Road has made for families, and understand your frustrations. We would like to advise you that we are expecting the SCC Road Safety team this Wednesday to survey the early morning problems on College Road and New Road to see the dangers and difficulties of walking to school and parking first hand.
We hope the outcome of this survey will enable us to get a crossing patrol back.

The cost will be 20p per paper and will be available to buy from Mr Vaughan’s room during morning break on Thursday 16 June. All money raised will be given to our nominated charity.
SUMMER FUN EVENINGDue to the uncertainty of the weather last Friday, the Friends made great efforts to go ahead with the event, setting up all the stalls and sports activities on the field, however the rain did come and they had to move everything back to the school to hold the event in the hall.
In spite of these difficulties the evening went very well, and was well supported by families.
At first count they believe to have made in the region of £1150, of which the Year 6 stalls raised £230, as agreed half of this (£115) will go to their chosen charity the RSPCA. A fantastic result all round.
The Friends would like to thank all the parents, staff and pupils who helped; your support really is invaluable. The year 6 pupils did a great job with all the games & side stalls.
