Dear Parents and Carers

Another busy week in school started with all of the school spending time on scientific discovery for an afternoon. Children worked in mixed groups across the key stages.

It is a lovely way to deliver things differently and enthuse children about practical aspects of science. Thank you to staff for organising it.

Clubs

A reminder that children cannot just change clubs or turn up if they do not have a space! We always have so many more children wanting clubs than we have spaces and we try to be fair so that the vast majority get at least one of their choices. Thank you.
