Final Day of Term
It has been a very busy term and we are all looking forward to the holidays. This week has been one of the busiest with seven parties, a house treat, a nativity at the church service all rounded off by a dress down/pjs day watching the pantomime. We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to making this a fantastic term.
School closes at 2:30 tomorrow and reopens on Monday 5th January at 9a.m. when we look forward to seeing everyone back, well rested and ready for a fabulous new year!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes!
