Winter Fayre Stalls
We will be holding our annual Winter Fayre on Thursday 20th November, 6.30pm-8.00pm. If you, or someone you know, would like to reserve a stall at the fayre please email or call the school office to book a place. Stalls are £15, payable on the night. As well as being a fantastic, fun, community event, the Winter Fayre allows us to raise funds for our school and nursery funds. These are used to buy lots of additional resources for the school and nursery eg the development of our outdoor spaces and playground games and toys.

Get Involved
We’re excited to share that we’re making some wonderful improvements to our outdoor play area to give the children even more opportunities for exploration and creativity! One of our new additions will be a large outdoor sandpit where children can dig, build, and imagine together. To help bring this project to life, we would love some support from our families—whether through donating materials, lending tools, or volunteering a little time to help with construction. If you’re able to get involved and can spare even a little amount of time, please speak to a member of staff—we’d be so grateful for your help in creating this fantastic new space for the children to enjoy!
Parent Meetings
Parent appointment booking sheets will be in the foyer from Monday 27th October for parents/ carers to select a suitable appointment time and day for upcoming parent meetings week commencing 10th November.
Book Sale Reminder
Please see the attached letter for information about our upcoming book sale taking place during week commencing Monday 3rd November.
Voluntary Contributions to Nursery Fund
Voluntary contributions to our nursery fund play a valuable role in enriching the experiences we can offer the children. While core activities are always provided, these contributions help us go further—supporting special resources, workshops, outings, and creative projects that spark curiosity and make learning even more exciting. Every contribution, no matter the size, directly benefits the children by providing opportunities that enhance their development and enjoyment at nursery. We appreciate your involvement and engagement with all aspects of nursery life and look forward to working with you again this year. Contributions can be made via ParentPay. Thank you so much to those families who have already donated.
