Morgan Hayes has been awarded a bronze star award by Miss Harvey for keeping herself safe and enforcing our school values. Well Done!! Our Children have been given the chance to design a Christmas stamp to be used by Royal Mail over the festive period. Entries need to be completed over the weekend and brought in by Monday 13th March. Please hand to the office or to Miss McKnight.
Parents Evening Booking System Our next parents evening is on Monday 27th and Wednesday 29th March and we have sent the invite by text with a link where you can book appointments to see your child/ren’s class teacher. You also have an option to meet with our Headteacher, SENCo and Learning Mentor. (These are not compulsory meetings, only book if you feel you need to see them). Do not worry, if you are not sure just pop in to the school office and we will show you how, or manually book your appointments for you. Do your children have issues at bedtime and/or problems with sleeping? Please see the advertisement on the back of this newsletter.
