Headteacher's Welcome

It's hard to believe that we only have 2 weeks of this half term left. There are lots of exciting things happening between now and July including sports events, trips, performances and much more so please look carefully at  the calendar and make sure you have all the key dates in your diaries. We are starting to think about classes for next year - we have already arranged a number of visits for our Y2 children who are going to Nether Green Juniors and are busy planning our Arts week where Reception and Y1 will get to spend some time in their new September classes. 

Click here to see the full updated calendar for the rest of this school year. 

We hope everyone had a very lovely May Bank Holiday!

There are now plenty of PTA volunteers to help at the School Disco on Thurs 15th May – thank you. Just a reminder that the ParentPay deadline for this is Fri 9th May - today!

On Fri 23rd May (the last day before half term) children are invited to take part in a 'Dress As You Please' day. We would also love to treat the children to a Cake Sale! So we would be grateful if you could make donations of cakes, buns and biscuits (baked or bought). These can be brought to the office from 8.30 am on Friday morning or dropped off on Thursday (22nd) before school pick up if that works better. Please remember we are a nut free school. Each class will be invited to choose their cakes after lunch. Please pop a £1 in their book bag that morning. We also invite parents to buy any remaining cakes after school, outside from 3 pm. At the October cake sale, we raised an amazing £170 for the school! It would be amazing if you could help us to do this again!!  

The pirated themed Summer Fair will take place on Fri 20th June, 15:30-17:30. We will shortly be sending a letter to parents and carers with more info about this and with a few specific things we would like your help with beforehand. Many thanks to those that have already volunteered to help and secured raffle prizes for us! We currently have about 70 prizes donated totalling over £1,000! 

 

 

Our next PTA meeting will take place ahead of the Summar Fair on Tuesday 3 June, 19:45 at The Florentine. We’d love for you to join us, especially if you are volunteering in the Summer Fair.

 

Thank you for your continued support!
