PTFA Coffee Morning

It’s the PTFA coffee morning on Thursday morning at 9am until 10am at St John’s Church. A great chance to catch-up with fellow parents and carers.

Poppy Appeal

The Poppy Appeal is the Royal British Legion’s biggest fundraising campaign held every year in November, during the period of Remembrance. Monies raised from the sale of poppies provides support and assistance for all those servicemen and women who have been injured in active service or for families of those who have lost their lives. In school we will be teaching the children the importance of ‘remembering’ and how this impacts on our world today.

If you wish to support this important national event, you will be able to buy a poppy from the playground next week. All proceeds will be donated to the Royal British Legion Annual Appeal and our Year 6 pupils will be selling poppies on behalf of the Poppy Appeal.

School photographer

The school photographer will be taking individual and potentially sibling photos on Monday 7th November. Please ensure your child is wearing full school uniform including tie and cardigan/jumper.

As this is the first time we have photographed a full school we will prioritise individual photographs and if time allows sibling photographs will be taken at the end of the day. We thank you in anticipation of your understanding.

Our Pre-loved Uniform Shop is Back

Our pre-loved uniform shop is back, once again.
Stock as always is limited, by what we are given and we thank the generosity of our school community for making this venture possible.
