Messages.
We will continue to focus on numbers this week, a big thank you to those of you who helped your child to identify your house number.

Also thank you to all of you who have sent in you school trip consent form and money, we look forward to receiving the rest. Further to this, we are asking for a contribution of £2.50 as the Sealife Centre has offered to pre prepares a small gift and ice cream for this charge. 

The school trip will take place this Wednesday. All children need to be in school by 9.00am as we will be leaving promptly at 9.15am. We aim to be back and ready to release the children by 3.15pm.

We look forward to seeing you at your Parental Consultation; this is just an opportunity for us to have a quick chat about your child’s progress and any other issues.

Thank you for your continued support.

Kind Regards
