Whilst the weather is dry and our school field is fit to play football on, please could parents provide their children with a change of shoes (or slippers) for indoor wear. This will hopefully reduce the amount of mud and grass that is walked into school and classrooms. Thank you for your support in this matter.
We have a number of clubs running after school. Remember to book your place as numbers are limited. Details can be found in the Schools Clubs area of our website.
Your child was sent home with a school newsletter today. You can also view our weekly Newsletters in our Newsletter section of our website.
