If anyone has anything that we could use to make the hall ‘Spooky’ we would be very grateful, items could be returned after the event if labeled. Could you please leave any items at reception from Monday 22^nd October onwards.

Cycle, scoot or walk

It looks like the weather is better for the morning for the cycle, scoot or walk to school. But can you please make sure the scooters and bikes have a WATERPROOF label with you child's name and year, we would hate for names to wash off if it did rain during the day. Thanks, and enjoy your trip to school.

Cycle, scoot or walk to school

Friday 12th October is

CYCLE, SCOOT OR WALK TO SCHOOL DAY

We are inviting all children to participate in our second non-uniform cycle, scoot or walk to school day. Bikes and scooters to be clearly labelled (waterproof label), with your child’s name and class. There will be a designated area by the library for the bikes and scooters to be parked, although you are more than welcome to take them home.

£1.00 per child to be handed to their class teacher.

We are really excited once again about this initiative and our aim is to promote a healthier lifestyle and awareness of important environmental issues. We hope you all enjoy the day.
