Notices
We have our school trip on Monday 13th October to Westonbirt. Children should wear school uniform on the top half but don’t need to on the bottom half – please send them in sensible long trousers to suit the weather conditions. We are asking for long trousers to reduce the risk of ticks. Please also send your child in sensible footwear to suit a day in the woods. In addition they will need:
-a waterproof coat
-a packed lunch
-water bottle (we will take the school fruit as a snack for when we arrive so no additional fruit snack is needed)
Please just ask your child’s class teacher if there are any further questions.
Harvest Collection 2025
Please send in any Harvest donations (of dried eg rice, pasta, and canned foods eg soup, tinned meals, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel etc) to your class teacher. We will be donating them to representatives from the Salvation Army to support their work with homeless and vulnerable people in Bristol.
