Thank you to all the parents who so kindly helped on our trip last week. We all had an AMAZING time. Thank you.

Well done to all the YEAR 1 children who sang in the choir at the May Fair. A great performance. Well done.

  • You will find below a grid showing the sessions to be taught each week. They do not exactly follow days as each class has different sessions due to support and PE times being different but it allows you to see the week as a snapshot of sessions. 
  • Could you please make sure children have a change of shoes suitable for PE in their PE kits as most of our PE will be outside this term. Thank you.

We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.
