School Community Links

Money raised throughout the academic year.

  • Poppy Appeal
  • Children In Need
  • Christmas Show
  • Red Nose Day

Extra fundraising can be done by individual classes where the children and class teachers agree.

Parents are also invited to help at school events e.g. sports day, assist with parties etc. Also to help at Out Of Hours School Learning Clubs e.g. Football and Cross Country.

The Head Teacher is available for consultation with parents to discuss a pupil’s progress.

The school has an active Parent Council. Their fundraising has benefited the school greatly e.g. purchase of extra resources, supporting the pupils’ educational experiences.
