If your child has outgrown their previous Halloween costume and you are wondering what to do with it, we have a possible solution!

Sent it to school on Monday 3^rd October in a clearly labelled bag – costume, type and age/size marked. This allows for the costume to be in school for a few days.

Then on Parents@ Evening you will be able to, hopefully, select a different costume for your child. If you are happy to make a small donation this would be much appreciated. Donations will be put towards the school’s transport cost evenly across the school.

Thank you for your continued support. If extra costumes are left over, the school will donate them to a charity shop.

Please complete form below by Thursday 29 September
