Walk to School Day
Fri 11 Jun 2021Kids Walk to School Day
Wednesday 16th June 2021
As part of our Road Safety Campaign for the School, we are going to be doing a walk to school day!!
We would like to encourage children to, where possible, walk to school to continue to reduce the number of vehicles on the footpaths and side roads.
Everyone can get involved. Families who travel to school in their cars could park a distance away from school and walk the rest of the journey.
Children who participate will receive a certificate for taking part and other goodies too!
We look forward to seeing lots of you taking part and walking to school.

Easter Events
Tue 16 Mar 2021Easter Raffle Tickets On Sale NowI am pleased to say that we will be having an Easter Egg Raffle this year. Our staff have kindly donated lots of Easter Eggs and all children have the opportunity to buy a maximum of two tickets at 50p each. As we are unable to hold assemblies at the moment each class will hold their own raffle. If anyone is able to source more eggs for us from local shops or businesses we would be very grateful. We also have an amazing hamper to raffle off made up for us by Miss Baker. It contains lots of chocolates and sweets as you would expect for Easter. It also contains Easter activites and a Cuddly toy. Children will choose their own name for the Easter Bunny and the draw for this will take place during the last week of term. It will cost £1 per child if they wish to take part in this. If your child wishes to take part in both they will need to bring in £2. It would help if the money could be in an envelope with the amount and child's name on.
