Learners of the week

Sports Day - Tuesday afternoon

Our annual sports afternoon takes place on Tuesday.  Families are invited to join children for a picnic on the field from 12 noon. If the weather is still hot and sunny, parents are welcome to bring a small gazebo to put up for shade.  If you have not pre-ordered the Feast on the Field please ensure you send a packed lunch for your child, there is no option to order a lunch on the day.  The activities will start at 1pm.  Please see the email sent last week for details of team colours.  Children will also need a hat and plenty of water.  We look forward to sharing the day with you. If you are not able to attend, please collect your child from the field at the end of the day. Adders parents, please email the office if your child is allowed to walk home / meet you at the usual agreed place.

Parking - Please note for parking for sports day as we have had complaints from local residents and community - please can parents park only on the school field for attending and collecting from sports afternoon. Please do not park in the shop or pub car-park.  If you are attending you will be able to park in the field once we are there and open the gate. If you are collecting at the end of the day, you will be able to enter the school field to park and collect from 3pm when the gate will be re-opened. If you are parking in the village please be considerate of residents and other road users. Thank you
