Message from the Headteacher

Dear all, 

Our school is looking and feeling very festive. Huge thanks to our Christmas Tree donors, we're very grateful.

St John's Church Christmas Tree festival opens on Sunday. The children have been busy creating very colourful decorations for our tree, and we think it looks fantastic.

This afternoon's Christmas Fair in Glastonbury's Town Hall (3:30–5:30) is set to be a fun-filled affair. Please remember to bring cash to spend. Thank you for supporting us.

This time of year it's also important to look after yourselves. The Mental Health Support Team have shared an advent self-care calendar (below) with ideas for taking a bit of time to breathe.

Please note the change of location for our Reception Nativity on Thursday. It will now be held in our School Hall. Due to the space available, we need to limit our audience to 2 people per child. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Thank you for your continued support.

Year 1 Victorian Childhood Workshops

A reminder that next Tuesday 10th December, Year 1 will be visited by the Rural Life Museum and will participate in workshops with a Victorian Childhood theme. 

"Life for children in Victorian Somerset was very different from today. Dress up in historical costume, learn about Victorian schools and investigate nineteenth-century childhood through drama, object-handling, sewing and archival sources."

We would appreciate a contribution towards the cost of the workshops. If you haven't already made a contribution, please read the letter on the link and log in to Parent Pay.
