New Year R talk
Mon 13 Jun 2016Our new Year R talk was held on Thursday 9th June. It was an introduction evening into our school and community and was very well attended by our new Year R parents. Following an introduction to our school by Mrs Riches, the parents heard about our Governors from Nick Mathews, our chair. This was followed by talks from Nikky Hammond, our PTA Chair, SEND information from Mrs Campone, an introduction to our school nursing help and advice and our fabulous caterers HC3s. Following this, Mrs Charles, Miss Turner and the rest of the Year R staff took parents through a typical day in Year R, followed by a trip to the classrooms.
Our Songs and Rhymes sessions start on Wednesday 15th June for the September 2016 intake and continue every Wednesday and Thursday for three weeks at 2pm. If your child is starting in our school in September, please take advantage of these fabulous sessions that enable children to start meeting staff in the school and get used to the school environment.

£501 Raised for Children in Need!
Fri 13 Nov 2015Our school council (age 5-7years old) decided they wanted to run the fundraising for the children in need charity this year to help. They have more than doubled all our previous amounts raised! With Mrs Charles, our deputy headteacher, they decided on a toy and cake sale, where they organised and manned the stalls, which raised £327! They designed posters to advertise the event and wrote letters to the parents and children to explain what they were doing and why. They then decided on a 'sporting hero' dress down day today(after organising the class vote), which has brought our total up to £501! They came to our governors meeting this morning to explain everything they had done. They are our fantastic superstars and we are very proud of them. Our children have had a fantastic few days and we would like to thank all the parents, carers , children and staff for all their efforts!
