St Michaels Primary School, Playden

Noticeboard

Parents are welcome to come into school at any time, although we prefer them to see teachers at the end of the day. All parents should call in at the office for reasons of security.

All parents are warmly invited to attend the Playden School Association (PSA) meetings and events. This is a flourishing, well-supported group who perform a fantastic job in raising money to provide equipment, books and other facilities for the benefit of all the children.

We also encourage parents to become involved as helpers with a range of activities in the classroom, either on a regular or casual basis. They are made very welcome and given whatever support they may need to assist the children.

This section provides existing and prospective parents with information about the school.
