Last Friday, the PTA hosted two very successful Halloween discos! The children had a wonderful time. Thank
you to everyone who helped to make this event such a success. An amazing £530 was raised!
This week, we have welcomed Mr Percival and Mr Wright who are PGCE student teachers here on placement
from Leeds Beckett University, initially just one day per week. Do say hello if you see them.
This week, we held online parents’ appointments. I hope parents found these useful. If anyone missed their
appointment, please contact your child’s class teacher to make an alternative arrangement.
