Our AGM took place on Tuesday the 8th of September, and we’d like to take the opportunity to share some updates with you.
After three years as Chair of the Parent Council, Jo Ferguson has stood down from the role. We’d like to say a massive thank you to Jo for all of her incredible hard work, patience and commitment over the past three years. We’re so grateful for everything she has done for the Parent Council and our school community.
We’d also like to thank Mica Burns, who has stood down as Treasurer, for all her hard work and dedication in the role.
A huge thank you also goes to everyone who formed the Parent Council during 2025–26, as well as all the amazing volunteers who gave their time throughout the year and helped make our events such a success. We couldn’t do it without you!

The Parent Council will be offering prizes for:
– Most Challenging Idea
– Most Community Minded Idea
– Most Creative Idea
Pupils will be given a sponsorship form at school or nursery. If your child wants to take part in the competition, could you please make sure that the box on the sponsorship form detailing the challenge your child decided to do is completed. All pupils, regardless of how much money they raise, or if they raise any money at all, are welcome to enter the competition.
Please return the sponsorship form to your child’s champion by Friday 1 May.
Any sponsorship money raised should sent by Friday 1 May by bank transfer to:
