Dear Parent/Carer

Please see below for all Christmas party dates. Children can come to school on the date of their party dressed in party clothes or if their party is in the afternoon parents can collect them for a home lunch. If you would like your child to have a home lunch they must be collected by an adult at 12:30 pm and dropped off at the office at 1:15pm.

Thank you for your continued support
