A reminder that our outing to the Pantomime is on Tuesday 2nd December.

The buses will be at the school for 9am and all children who are attending the Pantomime MUST be in school for this time as the buses will be unable to wait for any latecomers.  Children can bring a small snack, a bottle of water (not fizzy juice) and they can wear their Christmas jumper with their school uniform. They will be back in time for lunch.

Children who are not attending the Pantomime should not come into school that day as there will be no provision for them.

Below is a live dedicated link to make a direct donation to Children In Need 2025.

If you can, please make a donation to this wonderful charity.

Thank you

Our school car park is as always out of bounds for parents/carers vehicles . We also have an increase in commercial traffic e.g vans lorries etc  going in and out of the car park daily due to our kitchen renovations having started this week making it particularly hazardous.

During September we were delighted to see so many of our parents and carers come along to our ‘Meet the teacher’ session, thank you for taking the time to come to school and get some information about the year ahead. Please let us know what you thought of these sessions and anything else we could add in the future.

Welcome to our School – Meet the Teacher
