We have received notification from Severn Trent that their contractors will be carrying out maintenance works in Abbey Road, near to the corner leading to the Avenue, in the week commencing 2nd December. This means that there will be 2-way traffic lights in place to control traffic. The works will be set up on Monday 2nd and are expected to last for the rest of the week.
A member of our Facilities team will be meeting with the contractors on Monday to ensure that risks to pupils entering and exiting the school site are minimized.

Thank you for your support in helping us to manage this.
