Dear Parents and Carers,

A quick reminder from the Church Warden: please do not park in the reserved car-parking spaces opposite the library entrance. These spaces are set aside and need to remain clear—thank you for your understanding.

Year 2 have been busy making beautiful Harvest invitations. We hope you will take a moment to read and enjoy their wonderful work.

Today, our Community Care Leaders visited the local Care Home. They spent time with the residents and showed such kindness and respect—we are very proud of them.

Have a nice weekend!

 

Warm regards,
Kerry Devane
