This Friday, is our Christmas Funday as we canโt have our usual Christmas party. The pupils have created their own timetable for the day which is full of art, ICT, PE, games and a movie! We canโt wait!
The pupils have voted for a majority rule of Home Alone, as Home Alone is a PG could I ask any parents who do not wish your child to watch this film, could they please contact the school.
