Dear Parent/carer,

Welcome to another fun packed busy week. We are beginning our Lead Creative School work with the sculptor and storyteller and have a visit from the police liaison officer to talk about cyber safety. Let’s hope the weather improves and we can get out and about as much as possible.

Clubs start up again this week but there have been some changes in days so please make sure you check the timetable.

Please keep up to date with the PTA news as well to find out what they are planning following the meeting on fair funding last week.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mr Jenkins

Attendance

Our competition winners for the Autumn Term were Mrs Porter’s class with 100%. Amazing! As a school we were 96.4%. An excellent result.

Our weekly 100% winners were Ripley, Alwyn and Jack Martin.

What a fantastic effort. Well done to everyone for trying to reach our target.
