A reminder that our opening times have changed from September 2023. Children are collected by teachers from the playground at 8.50 a.m. and our official start to the day is now 8.55 a.m. rather than 9.00 a.m. In the afternoon, we finish at 3.25 p.m..

Your children should bring home their Christmas Card design order forms today. I have extended the order window, so please place your orders online by WEDNESDAY 1ST NOVEMBER. Orders placed after this will incur a delivery charge and will not earn commission for school.
All orders will be delivered to school during the first week of December and will be sent home with your children.
Thank you for your continued support

On the morning of Wednesday 11th October, children who arrive at school having either walked to school from home, scooted or cycled, will be offered breakfast on the playground.
This initiative is to support our Travel Plan objective of increasing the number of children who journey to school using sustainable transport.
Whilst we appreciate that this is not possible for all of our families, we hope that you will be able to support us on the 11th October.
If you have any questions, please let Mr Richardson know.

As we approach the end of term we wanted to share our fundraising totals with you!
With your support the Friends of the School have raised over £4800 this school year!
Every ice pole, coffee and cake bought, every disco or film club attended, every sponge thrown at Mr Richardson at the Summer Fayre, has helped us reach this amazing total.....so thank you. 👏👏👏
We are happy to be donating over £2000 towards the new Library refurbishment to be completed early next term. 📚
Thank you for your support.
