Events

We have places in our school Nursery (either 15 or 30 hours depending on your eligibility) and Reception. If you have children in these year groups, and would like a place, please contact the office and a member of Early Years staff will be in touch.

Our Pre-School Playgroup – Tuesdays 9 while 10.30
If you have children aged between 0 and 3, why not come along to our Playgroup every Tuesday morning between 9 -10.30 am. We have creative activities, sensory toys for the children to play with, songs and story time.
 Each month we have a book swap on the 1st week of the month and a toy swap on the 2nd week.  

Christmas Holiday Dates
We will be breaking up for the Christmas holiday on Friday, 22nd Dec. I hope you and your family and friends have a great Holiday and we look forward to welcoming you all back to school on Monday, 8th Jan 2024.

Christmas Card Post Box from Friday, 8th December
We know that your child might want to bring in Christmas Cards for their friends. So that we don’t end up with 100’s of envelopes on the playground, can they please post these in the red post box in the school’s main porch? Children from Year 6 will then deliver the cards to the right classrooms daily.
 To make sure the cards get to the right people, please writes the first and last name of the person you are sending it to and the class they are in.
 
Christmas Jumper Day
Christmas Jumper Day will be on Friday, 8th December. Children are encouraged to wear Christmas Jumpers or T-Shirts and donate a bottle of something that can be used as prize in the Christmas Fayre. Ideas might be bubble bath, soft drinks, wine or beer. Bottles should be new, sealed and handed to the child’s teacher.
 
Christmas Non-Uniform Day
Christmas non-uniform Day will be on Monday, 11th December. Children are encouraged to wear their favourite clothes (which might be Christmas themed) and donate something to eat that can be used as prize in the Christmas Fayre. Ideas might be chocolate, Haribo, sweets or crisps. Snacks should be new, sealed and handed to the child’s teacher at the start of the school day.

The Book Fair have some fantastic offers on books like 3 for the price of 2 or half-price, making some of the books ideal stocking fillers.

This year our hot Christmas Dinner will be served on: Thursday, 14th December
 It will be a traditional meal of Turkey, Mash, Vegetables, Yorkshire Puddings & Gravy. A vegetarian option is also available and will instead include Vegetarian roast.
If your child normally has a packed lunch, you can order a Christmas Dinner for them and this can be paid for using the school’s online Arbor system.
 
Christmas Fayre
Our Christmas Fayre will be taking place on Friday, 15th December after school until 5pm. The Fayre will take place in the school hall and there will be lots of activities to look forward to with games, food, music and fun. All money raised at the Fayre will go towards subsidising next year’s residential trips.
 
Christmas Parties
Christmas Parties will be held week commencing the 18th December. Look out for a letter from your child’s class teacher with details about the date of the party. On the day of the party your child will be able to wear a Christmas Jumper or outfit. The school will be providing food for the party paid for from fund raising over the year.
 
(Children are expected to wear school uniform, except on Christmas Jumper Day, Christmas Non-Uniform Day and their Christmas Party day)
