Polite request regarding Staff Noticeboard: The noticeboard is done with sufficient time and information for people to be able to spot any potential clashes with timings/rooming/staffing. If you spot any clashes, please bring them up at the start of the week. Do not wait until the day/last minute to point these out please. The idea of information sharing in advance is to reduce stress/pressure points. Of course, unplanned staff absence can make these unavoidable but where possible, please consider and plan ahead. Thank you.

Lunchtime Supervisor vacancy: Sadly, due to ill health, Leanne Venables has given her notice as a lunchtime supervisor and we will shortly be advertising for a replacement. Please let me know if you are aware of any suitable candidates.
