Next term, we have lots of events planned for the children and many opportunities for parents and grandparents to come into school, including Worksharing, Come & Do Maths, the Creativity and Art
Exhibitions and the School Walk and PTA Barbeque. For details, see attached ‘Dates for your Diary’ for the summer term, further information will be provided about each event nearer the time.
Please also see attached details of the clubs that will be taking place when we return after Easter.
A request from class 1, if you have any age 2-3 clothes that you no longer need, please consider donating them to school. We are particularly low on clothes for boys, but any items will be gratefully received.
If any families have children who will turn 3 years old next school year and are interested in a nursery place, please request a registration form from the office. Our nursery is increasingly popular and only a few places remain for next academic year (2025-2026). Registration is now also open for the nursery for year 2026-2027.
A reminder that we close early for the Easter holiday tomorrow. Please collect nursery, reception and years 1 and 2 ~ 1.50-2.00pm, and years 3, 4, 5 and 6 ~ 2.00-2.10pm. If you have children in both age groups, please collect at the earlier time. The school buses will depart at 2pm.
I hope you all have an enjoyable break. School re-opens for the children on Tuesday 22nd April.
