Weekly News Update

Dear all, 

Year 2 went on the BIGGEST adventure yesterday, travelling to London to visit the magical Hampton Court Palace! I was so proud of their behaviour and absolutely loved the enthusiasm they showed throughout the visit. A huge thank you to all the volunteers and staff who helped make this trip possible.

This is another wonderful example of the lengths we go to to make the children’s time with us truly memorable. ❤️

🎄 Our Annual Christmas Fair – 19th November

Just a little heads-up that our annual Christmas Fair will take place on 19th November, after half term!

Please start looking out for good-quality bric-a-brac and tombola prizes. We kindly ask for no books or toys, please. We would also be very grateful for donations of bottles of wine or spirits for our wine or water table.

We will really need your help on the day, too, so if you are able to volunteer to run a stall, please do let us know. Your support makes such a difference, and we couldn't do it without you!

Have a wonderful half term, everyone, and stay safe in this stormy weather! 🌧️

Kerry Devane (Headteacher)
