Tickets are priced at £3.00 each and are limited to 2 per family at one performance only.  Tickets will be on sale from the school office from Thursday 28th November.  We are unable to reserve any tickets as we are restricted in total numbers due to the size of the hall. Tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis.  To help us out if you have the correct money to pay for your ticket this would be greatly appreciated. There will be a reserve list generated on the off chance that there are any tickets left.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you at our Christmas Shows

Be Bright, Be Seen

As winter is setting in and the days are darker in the mornings and afternoons our JRSO committee have turned towards think about the impact this has on our safety.
Safety Sam, By Tia
Today is  Be Bright Be Seen Day. This is something that the Junior Road Safety Officers have been working on in the school.
The JRSO Group have arranged for classes to design posters and are raising awareness around the school and informing children about the importance of wearing bright clothes when they are outside in the darker mornings and evenings. For each poster handed in the children have received a reflector to clip on to their jackets or bags
