Headteacher's Welcome

We have had a super week in school this week. The children really enjoyed the Holi Dance Workshop on Wednesday and finding out more about this colourful festival. It was amazing to see so many book characters in school for World book Day. The children had a fabulous day enjoying book themed activities, buddy reading with friends from other classes, and particularly enjoyed the storytime with hot chocolate and biscuits at the end of the day. 

Thanks everyone for supporting this. Have a look at some of our fabulous characters below!

Your child should have brought home a book token that can be used to redeem against buying a new book or for a special World Book Day publication. 

Preschool Open Morning - Sat 14th Mar 10am-12pm

Your child will be bringing home a postcard advertising our Preschool Open Morning. Please could we ask that you pass this on to anyone you know with children who are 0-3 years old. 

If anyone has links to any community or toddler groups where leaflets could be shared please get in touch. 

We are now accepting applications for the academic year 2026-27.

Health Update 

We have recently had a very small number of reported cases of Threadworm in school. We just wanted to share some information to raise awareness of what to look out for. 
Threadworm isn't usually serious and can be treated easily by visiting your pharmacy. 
More information can be found here. 
The most important advice is about good hygiene - washing hands regularly and thoroughly.

Breakfast & After School Club Bookings

Please ensure you book your child into clubs in advance. It is becoming a regular occurrence that children are arriving in clubs without a booking. We need to ensure safe staffing levels and in order to do this we need to know how many children to expect. We appreciate that occasionally there are last minute changes, however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to take children at the last minute who are not booked in. 

Preschool children must be booked in at least 7 days in advance as we have to adhere to strict staffing ratios.
