Following last year’s success, the PTA are excited to be repeating the ‘Grow a £1’ challenge’! A reminder of the guidelines will be sent home next week, but feel free to start discussing with your child how they might grow their £1!
A reminder that children should not be taken out of school during term time for holidays except in exceptional circumstances.
