Dress Down Day Reminder
On the last Friday of every month (unless advised by school) we have “Dress Down Day” for the pupils and staff. We ask for a donation to participate in this fun activity. The monies raised from Dress Down Day are used to purchase additional resources and treats for the pupils.. The recommended amount is £1 per pupil. We are now a cashless school and unfortunately, we do not accept any cash in the school. A payment item has been created on ParentPay called Dress Down Day Donations where you can make your donations direct. You can also request a barcoded letter from the school office and use this to make donations for all Dress Down Days.
Thank you for your continued support.

Scavenger Hunt
We are thrilled to share that our Rights Respecting Schools Committee has been diligently working behind the scenes to kick off preparations for our much-anticipated annual UNCRC Article Scavenger Hunt! This engaging event is a wonderful opportunity for students and the community to explore and understand the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in an interactive and fun way. The scavenger hunt encourages students to learn about their rights, promoting a school culture that values respect, understanding, and inclusivity. We are eager to foster a deeper appreciation of these important principles among our young learners. Stay tuned for more details, as we’ll be providing further information next week. Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to another successful and enlightening event!

Road Safety Magic!
Primary 1 – 5 all had a magical time at Alans Magic Road Safety show today. They gained their Official Magician’s Assistant certificates by knowing and demonstrating the road safety rules. Alan the magician showed us lots of magic while reminding us how to be safe when crossing the road. Ask the children from P1 to P5 to tell you about what they learned.
