Dreamcatcher Assembly - Mrs Chowdhury is organising some assemblies, whereby parents/relatives who have an interesting

job are invited into school to speak the children about their role. This would hopefully encourage and inspire children to think about

their careers for the future. Please contact the office on 01438 233900 if you or anyone that you know would be interested.

Head Lice - Please can we remind parents to check and treat their child/ren in the necessary way and to check their hair on

a regular basis. We must point out that failure to treat your child’s hair appropriately is considered to be a form of neglect.

We insist that all parents are vigilant and treat their child/ren BEFORE they return to school and do not knowingly send

them to school with head lice.

@StevenageBC on Twitter), as well as through displayed notices. We are sorry for any inconvenience at this time, but keeping you safe is

our priority. Should you require any further information, please call the Communities and Neighbourhood team on 01438 242389.
