A reminder about the PTA Afternoon Tea Party on Monday 22nd September 3.15-4.30pm in Askwith Village Hall. Do come along to say hello, have a cuppa and a cake! This is a great way to get to know other parents if you are new to the school. Any donations of cake will be gratefully received and can be taken to the village hall from 3pm onwards.
The nasal flu vaccinations took place in school yesterday. Information about local ‘mop-up’ sessions for those that missed the vaccinations will be circulated when received.
