Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Friends of St. Gabriel’s – KS2 Disco: Thursday 17^th October 3:15-4:30pm

Please see your ParentPay account or ask in the school office if you do not have one to be able to book your tickets should your child wish to attend this event. Booking closes at 5pm on Monday 14^th October. As we are using the ParentPay system for payment now, this needs to be closed down prior to establishing numbers and this is why we are unable to safely add additional numbers in after the payment deadline. In this way we can ensure the appropriate staff ratios and first aid provision is in place to ensure the safety of all children at the event.
