A Successful Moving up day
On Tuesday, 2 July children spent some time in their new classes and met their new teachers and support staff. This was an enjoyable and exciting opportunity for all children.

Class 6 attended their chosen school and spent the day with fellow pupils.

Also on 2 July, we held a welcome day for children moving from our current nursery who are moving into Reception class.

School disco
Thursday, 4 July saw a very successful school disco in our school hall. Pupils, families and staff members all participated in disco and dance. Thank you to everyone who could make it!

Weather Alerts
It is expected that the weather is going to get warmer over the next few days. Please ensure that children apply protective sum cream before they arrive to school. Please also ensure that sun hats are sent in with children in case they are needed.
