Week 3 lunch menus this week.  Please remember to talk to your child about what they are most likely to eat.   Following the disruption caused by the weather last week, we are hoping to have most clubs up and running this week.  The exception is Cross Country.  The ground conditions are unsafe after the recent heavy snow falls, so the club has been cancelled this week. Unfortunately, due to

Mrs N’s Notes – 22.12.17

Many thanks to everyone for all their hard work and dedication over the past term.  This week we have performed, partied, worked, played, laughed and sang.  We had our first (but certainly not last) Inter-House Quiz and our choir performed to an audience for the first time ever!  All in all a most successful way to end a fabulous term.  It was also exciting to send Miss Smith off with
