The cost per child is £7.00. This is a greatly reduced cost thanks to the wonderful Parent Council making a donation of £6.00 per child. As always, the support of our Parent Council is very much appreciated.
Parentpay is now open for payment to be made. Thank you.

The event on the Saturday morning was for pupils of the local schools who were winners in their own school.
