Dear Parents and Carers,

What a lovely week it’s been! The autumn sunshine has made playtimes and outdoor learning extra special, and the children have really enjoyed the bright days.

Just a little reminder: please make sure all coats, jumpers, and water bottles are named. With so many children taking layers on and off, it helps us make sure everything finds its way back home again.

We are really looking forward to our Harvest Festival next Friday. This is always such a joyful time to celebrate together, and we’d love for you to join us.

If you are able, please send in contributions for our Harvest collection. Things like tins, packets, and other long-lasting food will be gratefully received and will go to help local families.

Thank you for all your kindness and support—we can’t wait to share this special time with you and the children.

Have a nice weekend!

With warm wishes,
Kerry Devane
Headteacher

 

Harvest Festival

All of our parents and carers are invited to join us for our Harvest Festival which will be held in St John's Church at 2pm on Friday 10th October 2025.

We will be supporting Love Glastonbury who run the Community Fridge and Community Pantry in our town. If you are able to donate a non-perishable item of food, this would be gratefully received by the charity after the Harvest service.

Many thanks.
