Alveston Youth Choir
We are very excited to announce that three pupils from Alveston, who are part of the St James' Church Youth choir, recently sang at a concert with the Alcester Male Voice Choir at Holy Trinity Church!
We are very proud to hear that these children are "always engaged and committed to the choir" and it gives us great pleasure to acknowledge their contributions and achievements in the community.
A great BIG thank you goes to Year 5's Elsie, Georgia and Hannah.
Staff at St James' church added that, "The concert is a big achievement for the children at such an age and we are really proud to have them representing St James'".
Very well done, girls!

Parking at Drop Off and Pick Up
We are so lucky at Alveston that the Football Club allow all our parents who drive to school to use their car park for drop off and pick up. This makes it safer for all our children. Please continue to use the Football Club car park. Please do not park on Knights Lane or Oak Road for pick up or drops offs. Please also ensure that you do not stop or park within the zig-zag "Keep Clear" markings. This area is marked to keep the flow of traffic resuming and to ensure the safety of all pedestrians.
The car park is safer for pedestrians as well as families loading and unloading into cars. Parents have reported an increase in cars parked on Oak Road and many cars have parked on double yellow lines. Please be considerate to the safety of all. Thank you.
