Fundraising for Macmillan and Breast Cancer On Friday 1 October we will be combining these two campaigns and holding a coffee afternoon from 2-4pm to raise money for these worthy causes. We will be selling Fairtrade tea, coffee and biscuits.
Children will be asked to bring 50p for wearing something pink for the Tickled Pink Breast Cancer Campaign – they can either wear a spot of pink or all pink.

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. Please ensure all new contact forms are returned to school as soon as possible.
