Vote for St Mary’s
Next time you’re in Tesco – whether locally (Hornsey High Street) or more further afield (15 stores including Finchley, Tottenham and Bound Green), please pop in a blue token to help us try to win £1,500 to build a stimulating and inclusive outdoor learning area for our early years children to learn through physical, sensory, environmental and imaginative play.
How you can help:
🛒 When you shop at Tesco, please pick up a blue token and place it in our project box (see picture below).
🗓️ Voting is open until March 31st in 15 local Tesco stores across Hornsey, Finchley, Tottenham and Bounds Green.
🏆 Prizes: If our project receives the most tokens, we will be awarded £1,500; second place will receive £1,000, and third place will receive £500.
Every (little) vote counts. Thank you for your support! 💙
Courtesy for our Neighbours – Parking at Rectory Gardens
We have received a message from some residents in Camfrey Court, next to our Rectory Gardens site, who are concerned about the number of cars of parents that are parking there both before and after school. This is a private car park, and the residents have to pay for their parking spaces and are struggling to find spaces for themselves. Please use some consideration and don’t park there. If parents continue to park there, then the management company will have no choice but to send in enforcement officers, who will issue fines. Sainsburys car park offers 20 minutes free parking and several of the local streets have no restrictions at this time.
Reminder early closing
This is a reminder that school will be closing early on Friday 13th February, to allow preparation for some building work that will be starting over the half term holiday (1.45pm RG/2.00pm CL). You can read the full details in the letter here St Mary’s Early Closing 13 02 26
Have a lovely weekend.
Best wishes,
St Mary’s CE Primary School
