Weekly News Update

Dear Parents and Carers,

We had great fun celebrating World Book Day—thank you to everyone for taking part.

One of our neighbours has asked if we could please be considerate of other drivers when parking along Archers Way when dropping off your child. It can become quite congested outside the Library building, and the safety of our children is paramount. 

Please look out for information about signing up for Parent/Carer Consultation appointments, which will take place during the week beginning 16th March.

Year 2 will be going on a school trip to the SS Great Britain in Bristol. It’s always a fantastic and exciting trip for the children.

Warm regards,

Kerry Devane (Headteacher)
