Message from the Headteacher 

 Dear Parents/Carers, 

It's been a very busy week for our school community this week.

St Dunstan's work experience students have been with us all week. They made such a positive contribution to the school, which I will be feeding back to their tutors. 

The 'Glastonbury in bloom' judges visited on Wednesday. Our Head gardeners met with them and showed them our 'blooming lovely' playground. 

Finally, our community leaders visited the Care home and sang for the residents for the last time. 

We are very excited to say, due to some amazing fundraising (see below) the first phase of our plans for the paddock will start in the summer holidays. This will improve the pond and forest school area. 

Enjoy the sunshine. Have a fantastic weekend

Thank you for your support, 

Kerry Devane

We would really like to keep the plants we have invested in alive over the summer holidays. 

If you think you could help by coming on-site and watering for one week of the Summer holidays please let me know on ClassDojo or via email.
