Message from the Headteacher 

 Dear Parents/Carers, 

What a week! The children have really enjoyed taking part in Jubilee activities this week and I know the Nursery are planning to celebrate after half-term. The trip to the seaside was a huge success, and we are hoping to go again next year and make it an annual event. 

This morning we walked the school children to the church for their morning assembly wearing the crowns they have been making. It was a wonderful site to behold. Please don't forget to take your children to the planned procession on Friday 3rd June. Glastonbury’s ‘Platinum Jubilee Pageant’ will celebrate Sovereignty with the theme of “Queens and Kings for the day” setting off at 2pm from the top of the High Street. Participants are asked to assemble from 1:45pm. The pageant will conclude in Glastonbury Abbey, where you’re encouraged to bring your own picnic and the celebrations will continue from 3pm with Glastonbury Brass Band, the newly commissioned Glastonbury St. George Mummers Play and Children’s entertainers from Children’s World.

We look forward to seeing you all again on Monday 6th June

Have a great half term!

Kerry Devane - Acting Headteacher

 

Longleat Trips

Year 1 and Year 2 will visit Longleat on 14th June and Reception will visit Longleat on 21st June. We have asked for a contribution towards the entry fee and the cost of the coaches. The PTA are kindly assisting with the cost of the coaches which has helped us to keep the cost to parents as low as we can.
