A very warm welcome to all of our pupils, new and old. The building work is now more or less complete and we now have new fencing, new interior doors, a full hall re-furbishment and all the classrooms have brand new 70” touchscreens. It’s been a busy summer!
Breakfast club and after school clubs have started again. Breakfast club is £1 per day and children can be dropped off from 8am. After school clubs should be booked in advance – a separate letter has been sent home.
In addition, we will also have the following sports clubs:
Football – Years 5 & 6 – Tuesdays
Netball – Years 4, 5 & 6 – Wednesdays
Running – Years 3, 4 5 & 6 – Thursday
All sports clubs will finish at 4.15pm. Children will use their PE kit but should bring a pair of trainers. Please see Miss Griffiths if you would like to join.
These will be going home this week – please do check them and return as soon as possible, even if there are no changes. It is vital that we have correct contact details in case we need to get in touch with you. In addition, there may be times when we send out text messages to parents – if we do not have a number, you may miss out on important information.
Just a reminder that we have an Awards Assembly every Friday morning at 9.00am. If your child has received an award, they will bring home a letter the night before. everyone is welcome to come.
