School Uniform Our school uniform supplier has increased the costs of the uniform from 1st March. As we have some uniform in stock we will not increase our prices until 31st May 2017. Please make sure all uniform, PE kit, coats etc. have your child’s name in to reduce the amount of losses.
'Sumdog' 'Sumdog' is the subscription-based Maths website the school pays for that your child can access from home. The web address is www.sumdog.com and there is a link from the school website. Each child has their own personal login (that they should keep to themselves) which they have been reminded of this week so they can access the site. 'Sumdog' is a fun and interactive Maths website with lots of engaging and inspirational Maths games so please encourage your child to go on at home! The school is running a 'Sumdog' competition all weekend and next week for all pupils from Y1-6 and the winners will be announced at Praise Assembly on Friday 28th April.
Fund Raising National Epilepsy Day – We raised an amazing £106.50 on wear something purple day. Mayors Charities – The next non-uniform day will be raising money for the Mayors Charities. £1 donation on Friday 28th April.
