We are kindly asking for parents and carers to work with us, to make drop-off and pick-up times safer for our community. Please note:

• Robin Hood Gymnastics Club have received a number of complaints from members and neighbours regarding the misuse of parking spaces, during NFS drop-off and pick-up times by parents and carers. 
• Many parent/carer vehicles are being parked very awkwardly and unsafely, obstructing traffic flow.
• Some parents are exiting the one-way system incorrectly, posing risks to pedestrians (particularly the young children who walk to our club with their parents)

Please can all relevant parents and carers:

• Use Haydn Road parking spaces near the front our school, or consider parking further down Haydn Road.
• Do not use Robin Hood Gymnastics Club car park, which is dedicated for its business operations only. 

As ever, we are sincerely grateful for your help with this important health and safety issue.

Nottingham Free School

We are having an increasing number of students being late for school this half term. All students have been reminded that our first bell rings at 8:28am. This allows for students to be ready in their classroom by 8:30am. Students are classed as late once the first bell has rung at 8:28am and are issued with a detention that same day.  Students who are late are missing vital information that sets them up for the day.  Please contact your child's tutor if you need support in ensuring that your child attends school on time. 

Attendance Team

Students have been working really hard on this year's school musical, School of Rock. Tickets will be made available after the half term break from student reception.

Tickets will be

• £4 for adults 
• £3 for children
• £2 for NFS pupils.

The show will take place on Tuesday 16th July and Wednesday 17th July at 6pm-8pm. We hope to see you there.
