Thank you!

Thank you so much to everyone who organised, ran and shopped last night! Our PTA Christmas shopping evening was a huge success, there was a wonderful atmosphere and so much support. It was wonderful to see so many people coming out to support the PTA and do some shopping!

 

We have an unclaimed raffle prize… Do you know Fiona, the owner of ticket 142? If you do, please ask them to get in touch, we have some perfume for them.

Sports Team Selection

Mrs Bryan is doing her very best to be fair and to make sure that every child has an opportunity to participate in sporting events. In line with our ethos, we are prioritising participation. We have a full calendar of events for this school year and have planned ahead to ensure participation is fair over the year. If your child has attended fewer events than others this term, they will be on the list for some later in the year.

Please do not make contact with Mrs Bryan about this outside of school, this is not fair to her.

Thank you to everyone who supported the book fair in school this year, I hope you found some bargains. As a result of your generosity, school has earned £426.34 to spend on books from Scholastic – thank you!
