Harvest We would like to say a HUGE thank you for all the support from parents and families for making our Harvest Service this year such a success! Not just for sending in so many food donations (which will be added to the Christ the Servant Church Harvest offering then delivered to the Evermoor Hub Food Bank), but also for how many parents came and shared in the Harvest Service at Christ the Servant Church with the whole school on Tuesday. It was a wonderful service, planned and led by the children, which displayed some of the incredible learning that's been going in all the classes around the theme of 'Harvest'. Thank you again.
The school Football team played their second round of fixtures on Tuesday night at the JMO. They played four games and won one, drew two and lost one (very narrowly!). This takes the school record this season to Played: 9, Won: 2, Drawn: 5, Lost: 2 which shows we have team with a huge amount of potential who are very tough to beat! Well done everyone! Team: Dylan, Brayden, Stephen, Reece, Jaden, Alix, Dillon, Alfie and Kyle. ATTENDANCE Attendance figures for week ending 21st September 2018.
