Pantomime Donation

We would like to thank our Parent Council who have, this week given us a wonderful donation towards the cost of the Pantomime!

Because of this, the cost per pupil has been reduced from £17 to £12 which is a fantastic saving for our families.

1. If you have already paid the full cost of the pantomime, you will soon receive a refund for £5, you will then have nothing else to pay. Even if your outstanding balance on Parentpay is still showing £5 please ignore this.
2. If you have only paid the first instalment of £10 you will now only  have £2 left to pay.

A reminder that our Wider Achievement assembly takes place this Friday 2nd October 2026. Please send any photographs/information of your child’s achievements ouwith school to our school email address please:
