Green Britain Day
On Thursday, 19 May we are celebrating Green Britain Day. We will all be dressing in green for the day. Please send in a donation of 50p – proceeds will go to Christian Aid. Various Eco activities will be taking place throughout the day such as gardening activities, model making, litter picks, designing a green super hero.

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.

The free ‘Stay and Play Sessions’ are here at St. Edward’s on Wednesday mornings 9.30am-10.30am.
