Sciennes food allergy families

We now have a food allergy and intolerance families group at Sciennes. The aim is to connect families, raise awareness and enhance inclusion on behalf of children who have allergies, intolerances, celiac disease, etc. Please follow this link if you would like to join the WhatsApp group.

School Photos 2023/2024

Parent Council-run class photos are back by popular demand.

Please be aware that photos are being taken slightly earlier this year on Wednesday, April 24th, and Thursday, April 25th.

Pictures will only be available to purchase through ParentPay starting the 29th of February. Pictures are digital copies only, and we will send you a link to download and print the photos.

Prices remain the same as last year.

Class Photo £5.00

Individual Photo £10.00

Siblings Photos £15.00

Please order your photos as early as possible to make the process as smooth as possible on the day.

The photos are a fantastic fundraiser for the school compared to the private business model, and we aim to continue the event's success in 2024.
