In celebration of the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort, our pupils will take part in a dress down day with the children wearing red, white and blue (no football shirts please) or purple. As part of the celebration we will have a garden party for pupils as well as some other fun activities to complete in class.

This will take place on Friday 5th May. A reminder that the school will be closed on Monday 8th May.

We will be having a Non-Uniform day this Friday(28th April). Children can come to school in their own clothes ( no football strips etc). We are asking kindly for a £1 donation to be paid via Parentpay. This money goes towards the cost of our House Prize trips, without these donations we would be unable to have these special events for the children.

Children who take part in this activity will automatically receive an entry into our Raffle (which is also on Parentpay)

Week 1 – w/c 24th April, 15th May, 5th and 26th June
