Fathers Football Afternoon
Posted 2nd May
We’d like to invite our Fathers, Grandads, Male Carers or any other male family member to join in with your son / daughter to take part in a friendly Football Match. This will be part of our Monster Kickabout activities and will hopefully take place outside on the school yard on Tuesday 20th May from 1:45 – 2:45pm. If you would like to attend, please read the letter and return the reply-slip which will be coming home soon and try and arrive by 1:35pm. The afternoon will be very relaxed, fun and active, but you can even come along and just support the match if you don’t want to play. See the News & Events section for more details.​
World Health Day
Updated 8th April
We celebrated World Health Day by making a selection of healthy snacks and drinks for the staff in school and also by having a water hydration station in the staff-room. The students enjoyed making the healthy snacks and reminding each other and the staff the importance of healthy eating and drinking plenty of water on a daily basis. See the News & Events section for more details.​
