Friday, the 11th of March, we are holding a very special non-uniform day.

8th March 2022 By lynnmilburn

Dear Parents & Carers,

Just a reminder that this Friday, the 11th of March, we are holding a very special non-uniform day.  This day is not to raise funds for the school but is linked to Rights Respecting Schools Article 38:  The right to help and care when affected by war.
The children, if they would like to, can come to school wearing blue and yellow colours.  As a school, we will never place pressure on any family to donate money or items to any charitable cause and this is no different.  Children can offer their support throughout the day by simply wearing non-uniform or by offering prayers as a large school family.  However, if you would like to make a donation, either monetary or a toiletry item, then these will be greatly received.
Thank you for your continued support.
Best wishes,

David Miller

World Book Day – Thursday 03/03/22

2nd March 2022 By lynnmilburn

Several children have asked if they should get dressed up for World Book Day tomorrow.

The aim of the day is to develop a love of reading and we don’t want parents having to spend money on costumes.

With this in mind children need to come to school tomorrow in their uniform with a prop/clue for their favourite character and this will be used in class so others can guess who the character is.

Thank you.
