Further Damage to Y5 Boys’ Toilets

We are very disappointed to find further damage to the newly refurbished Y5 boys’ toilets consisting of writing on 3 walls.  Please speak to your child(ren) about this and respecting school property.  The cost of refurbishment of these toilets was £10,000 and was only carried out in the summer holidays.  The toilets are used by all KS2 children during lunchtimes.  Thank you for your support.

PE Days

Please see information below regarding PE days for year groups/classes during Spring 1.  Please note due to missed sessions that 4KB/JB Meerkats will continue to go swimming for the first two weeks in January (7th & 14th) and then 4LP Brown Bears will commence their swimming slot on 21st January.

Holiday Reading Challenge

Research shows children who read more, make more progress in learning. Please help your children increase their reading miles by reading over the holidays. Below are some challenges to engage children in reading more. All completed reading challenges will be entered into a reading draw - children can win a £10 book token. Please send in pictures on Class Dojo of children completing some of their reading challenges.

Spaces remaining on all clubs for next half-term – please book by date of first session (see attached timetable and flyers).
