Parents worried about not being welcome in school in the mornings also would like clarification on
the start and end times of school. Also mentioned the possibility of having staggered start/finish
times for ks1/2
Disappointed about Woodfield new starters not being in the paper.
Booking for club is difficult for some parents.
Payments for clubs weekly instead of in a block was also raised as a concern.
