Teacher Only Day
We have a planned Teacher Only day on Monday 16th November, there will be no school for children on this day however all staff will be involved in professional development on this day. Buses will run for other schools.
Do you have any 5 year olds starting this year?
Over the next few weeks teachers will be discussing classes for next year. It would be extremely helpful if we knew now about any children turning 5 years old between now and the end of April/May. Please send us your child’s name and date of birth if you think that your 4 year old will be starting at our school.
If you have any questions or queries please ask by phoning, emailing or coming in to see us.
