Year 4 Bikeability

Well done to the children in Year 4 who took part in the Bikeability programme this week. They have worked incredibly hard and showed impressive cycling skills when pedalling around the school site.  Some of the children went from having never cycled before to being confident riders - great work everyone!

PSA Volunteers Needed for Christmas Grotto

The PSA are working incredibly hard to get the grotto ready for Santa's arrival at King's Oak next Thursday - it is already looking incredible! To ensure that the grotto sessions are able to run, we need to get some more volunteers to support Santa.  There are different slots available, if you are able to spare half an hour or an hour that would be wonderful and really support the PSA and the school.  To volunteer, please follow this link to the website to see the slots and add your name - thank you in advance for your support.
