PSA Meeting

Our next Parent Staff Association meeting is taking place next Friday - 10th November at 9:00 in the spare Year 6 classroom.  We would love to see you there so that we can discuss our next fundraising and community engagement events.  Please come along if you are free - refreshments will be provided as an added incentive!

Survey Reminder

Before half-term we launched our parent and carer survey - unfortunately, only a small number of people have had the time to complete it yet.  It is very important to us that as many people as possible complete this short form so that we can use the information to make our school even better.  If you have not yet done so, please click here to complete the survey.  Thank you if you have already done it and for everyone who is going to do it now!

Yr 6 Assembly change

Year 6 are postponing their assembly that was planned for next Friday so that they can combine it with the World War 2 afternoon taking place on the 14th December - please see the Year 6 news item for this week for further details.
