    SPORTS DAY CANCELLED - EY & KS1

    Due to the torrential rain last night, our school field is waterlogged and therefore unsafe. Unfortunately our sports days today will be unable to go ahead.
    Children will still participate in sports day activities in the school hall so they will not miss out.

    Our summer fayre WILL go ahead whatever the weather!
    The forecast looks good today & overnight so we are hoping that the fayre will still be able to go ahead on the field, but we have a plan B if not!

  • Food Bank

    Tue 16 Jul 2024

    We still have food from our food bank available for our families. This is not restricted to families who receive benefits, ANY family who needs support and assistance can gain access.

  • SPORTS DAY UPDATE KS2

    Mon 15 Jul 2024

    SPORTS DAY UPDATE

    Good morning everyone, 

     

    Unfortunately, the weather over the weekend has left our school field waterlogged. We are keeping children off the field today to give it the very best chance of drying out. However, unfortunately the forecast for tomorrow isn't good. Please cross your fingers and hope the forecast is incorrect  and that our field dries out in time! We will update families at 9am tomorrow morning as to whether the KS2 sports day (tomorrow afternoon) can go ahead.

     

    Thank you for your continued support.

     

     

    8.50AM - 16th July -
    We are keeping everything crossed the rain holds off until later today so at current, we are planning to GO AHEAD with our KS2 sports day at 1.30pm. (The forecast is currently no rain until 4pm)

    If the weather worsens, we will send out a text if we are unable to go ahead last minute.

  • Summer Fayre Information

    Tue 09 Jul 2024

    🌞🌼

     

     

    Our summer fayre will take place on the afternoon of 18th July. We have lots of exciting stalls for your child to look forward to:-

    • Bouncy castle

    • School council games

    • Glitter tattoos

    • Pre-loved

    • Bottle tombola

    • Hot dogs

    • Sweet stall

    • Raffle

    • Ice-cream van

    You are welcome to come and collect your child from the school yard at 1pm to take them to the fayre. Although we have staff members on hand to take any children who do not have an adult in attendance, this will restrict access to some stalls (for example bouncy castle and glitter tattoos). Because of this, you may wish to send another family member or allow your child to go around the fayre with another child’s parent so that they can have a go on everything.

     

    If your child is to attend with someone who is not on our system as a contact, please let the school office know so that we can hand them over on the day.

     

    Your child should have brought some raffle tickets home this week for you to buy. We have lots of great raffle prizes, such as;

    • Voucher for Victor’s restaurant
    • Build a bear
    • Snoodie
    • Eagle’s voucher
    • Diffuser
    • Candle
    • Hampers
    • Alcohol

    & many more!

     

    We hope to see as many of you there on the day! If there are any changes due to the weather, we will communicate this on the day via facebook and our website.

     

    Please note: It will be non-uniform Thursday 18th and Friday 19th July. If you have any school uniform you no longer require and wish to donate to our pre-loved stock, please send this into school with your child.
