Message from the Headteacher 

 Dear Parents/Carers, 

Thank you for helping us mark 'World Book day' on Thursday. The children looked fantastic in their hats and enjoyed taking part in activities that supported the love of reading. 

Could I please ask that children are careful when riding scooters on the playground. We have siblings that are toddlers and can be unpredictable. 

In the next few weeks, the governors and I have the very important task of recruiting a Deputy Head for our school. This role has not been filled permanently since I became headteacher last Easter. We will keep you up to date with any developments. 

Have a restful weekend. 

Thank you for your support, 

Kerry Devane

Science Week

Don't forget our ‘Science Selfie’ competition!

We would like you to take a photograph and then, in one sentence, explain how it is science! It could be planting seeds, making slime, finding signs of Spring, looking at the effects of exercise on your body, baking… use your imagination!

Please send entries to your child's class teacher on DoJo.
