Dear families,
We are writing to let you know that, unfortunately, we are going to have to revert back to leaving the vehicle gate open at the start and end of the day. There have been a number of challenges that closing the gate has presented which, despite our best efforts to solve, have not been able to be overcome.
The bollard will continue to be put up which will prevent traffic from going all the way up the drive at these times. Please can we respectfully remind all families that no vehicles, unless authorised by the school, should be using the school drive at any time.
Thanks you for your cooperation with this important matter.

Staffing Updates
As previously informed, Miss Thea Dennett will be leaving us at the end of this term. We have now appointed Miss Lily Bartlett to teach the class for terms 5 and 6. We are looking forward to her joining us.
We will also be welcoming Claire Hardwidge to Banwell as our SENDCo for the summer terms. Claire will be working between 9.30 and 2.30 at Banwell each Tuesday. She will start this from Tuesday 25th March which will enable her to have a handover with Miss Dennett before she leaves. The SENDCo email address will continue to be the point of contact.
Finally, our wonderful HLTA (Higher Level Teaching Assistant) Mrs Jan Watson will be having surgery at the weekend so will be away from work for a number of weeks whilst she recovers. Mr Andrew Venn will kindly be covering the teachers' PPA (Planning Preparation and Assessment) time for the interim period.
Best wishes,
Claire
