Important Information to Share

Menu for next term - Please find attached the menu starting after half term from our Catering Provider - we start on week One

Shared learning - Friday 3rd November - please see arrangements below to ease congestion:

If you have two or more children please arrive at 2.30pm, you are invited into the hall. Please can you take one child at a time for 10 minutes each so this will give you the opportunity to talk with your child individually then send them back to class.

If you have one child, please arrive at 2.50pm, you will be invited into your child's classroom to spend 10 minutes looking through their learning with them.

We will then be able to finish by 3.05pm to meet you on the playground for collection at 3.15pm.

At this event, we are asking that younger siblings do not attend due to the physical space. If you are unable to come to the event during 2.30-3.05pm, you are welcome to come in at 3.15pm after school to look through your child's learning.

Activity Week - The children had a lovely time this week, please see the website and our Facebook page for photos of what the children have been experimenting with this week

Please see the dates below for the next half term. Details on how to book your parent consultations will be shared via weekly news after half term - please ensure you can log into the website as you will need access to book them.
