Our Parent Council are hosting a Dress Down Day tomorrow 5/11/25. Children are invited to ‘SHINE BRIGHT FOR FIREWORKS NIGHT’ by coming to school wearing bright clothes.
We ask that to take part in this, children bring a chocolate donation to school which will be used to create hampers for our Christmas Fayre later this month.
This Friday 31st October we will host our Halloween Fun Day in school. Children are encouraged to come to school dressed in their fancy dress on this day.
Children will take part in lots of fun activities in their classes throughout the day, as well as have the chance to visit the Halloween Fun Room hosted by our Parent Council.
As a fundraising effort, this room costs £1 to enter and when inside chidlren have the chance to try out the touchy feely boxes for an additional 50p.

To celebrate the end of term being almost here, on Thursday, we will be hosting a whole school TERRIFIC Thursday Get Together, where we will be recognising the Wider Achievements of our pupils . (This is usually known as FAB Friday but as we are at the Church for our Harvest service on Friday, we have moved it to a different day this week.)
We want to hear about your child’s successes! On Thursday, please bring in your certificates, medals or stories about your achievements from this past term.
To help with the programming of the afternoon, please complete the form below by Wednesday evening to let us know what your child wishes to celebrate. We will use the names gathered on the Form to create the running order.
