Walking Home Alone Permissions

Many parents sent written confirmation in Year 5 that you were happy for your child to walk home alone. To ensure that we keep all children safe, if you have not already confirmed this is still your wish with your child's Year 6 teacher, can you do so as soon as possible. This can be either in a letter or an email. Many thanks.
