A reminder that on Wednesday we have a change to the menu as our caterers are offering an Easter Lunch.  There is no need to pre-order, jacket potatoes will still be available on the day.  The price is the same as the usual menu.

Cross Country

If your child is participating in the Cross Country on Wednesday, please ensure you have notified the office of how they will be travelling to and from the event.  Children need to come into school wearing their PE kit and bring snacks and water.  Please ensure they have coats and warm clothing as the children will be waiting between races.  If you are transporting children to the event, please arrive at school at 1pm in order to arrive at Royal Hospital School for 1:30pm, meeting at the Parade Ground car park.  Pupils will have time to eat a hot dinner at school if they prefer, before heading to RHS.

Children are encouraged to attend their appointment.
