Text Messaging Service
We are continuing to use our text messaging service. In some cases we will be sending text messages to parents rather than sending letters so it is extremely important that you ensure you keep school up-to-date with any change in mobile phone numbers.

Contact Forms
It is really important that all new contact forms are returned to school as soon as possible. We need these forms so we can contact parents in case of an emergency.

Kingswood Some of our Year 4 children are going on an activities weekend to Kingswood in Worcester on Friday with 3 members of staff and one of our Governors.
Activities include archery, rafting, climbing, camp fire and toasted marshmellows.

Year 6 Fundraising Year 6 children will be going to Robinwood in May. We are trying to keep the cost down for parents by subsidising this trip and Year 6 children will be organising different fundraising activities throughout the year.
This week’s fundraiser was a sale of homemade cakes and biscuits.
