Message from the Headteacher

Hopefully you have all managed to view the information I have shared this week on ClassDojo about internet safety and smartphone usage.

I am planning to run a workshop for parents on internet safety. Please could you follow the link to let us know which time you would be able to attend this; 2pm or 5pm. I would love to reach as many parents as possible, so please let me know if there are barriers to your attendance at the workshop. The date will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Don't forget the second "Tuning into Kids" workshop on Tuesday at 9:30, and our Harvest Festival next Friday at 2pm. All parents are welcome to attend the service. If you would like to make a donation, we will pass on all donations of non-perishable foods to Glastonbury's Bridging the Gap foodbank. 

Thank you for your continued support, 

Kerry Devane 

Applications for Year 3

All of our Year 2 families need to make an application for their child to join Year 3 either at St Benedict's School or another junior school. The process is by online application and the system is now open.

Below is the link to more information and the online application form.

If you have any questions or are unable to complete the form online, please message Frankie or call the school office for assistance.
