What’s Happening this Week?
Our week ahead is extremely busy with events taking place around our world of work week. On Wednesday we have our Careers Fair for classes to visit in the afternoon. Our exhibitors will remain in school from 3 – 4 so parents and grandparents can pop into the hall to see what we have all been up to. Many thanks already to the parents who have responded to our request and have agreed to come along to the Careers Fair and talk about their businesses and jobs. We are sure the children will have plenty of questions. On Thursday we welcome our new entrants to the school for the first of their Induction afternoons. We are all looking forward to welcomng both children and parents to our community of faith and learning.

Open Afternoon/Art Exhibition
Today we hosted our annual Open Afternoon and invited parents and grandparents to join classes and to experience the learning taking place across the school. Parents reported they enjoyed the opportunity to visit their child’s class and to see them in their learning environment. The parents with more than one child at the school had a busier afternoon than most as they had several classes to visit and more than one child to keep happy! Our Art exhibition was a great success with 50% of the artwork bought already. Parents have until the 18th May to purchase their child’s work if they wish. Please contact the school office to arrange if wishing to make a purchase. Above are a few highlights of the afternoon.
