This term’s coffee mornings will be next week on Monday 27 and Wednesday 29 January. Coffee Mornings give you an opportunity to hear current developments at school and also to hear your feedback about how the school is working.

Dads’ drink with Mr Woollcott (Tues 28 January at Volunteer Pub starting at 7pm)
I would like to take Dads out for a drink next Tuesday (28 January). We will be meeting at the Volunteer at 7pm. This is a chance for Dads to hear current developments at school and also to hear their feedback about how the school is working. You will get an exciting FREE GIFT!!!
Bags2Bag Fundraising (29 January)
This is a reminder that The Bags2Bag sacks need to be in school next Wednesday (29 January). We will earn 50p for every 1kg. You can use black bags or recycling sacks if you have more than one bag to fill. This is a great way of supporting the school’s PTA without costing you a penny.
Whole School Trip- 20 May
Following the success of last year’s trip, I am pleased to announce the details of this year’s whole school trip to National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery in London.
Date: Tuesday, 20 May 2014
Time 8:30am to 5:00pm
Cost £5
Clothing Full school uniform (coat if cold and damp/sunhat if hot)
Food Packed lunch brought in school bag
As we do not have to pay for the entrance and workshops this year, the total cost of the trip is £2,500 (£9.72 per child). We have managed to secure some funding. Therefore, we are asking for every child to pay £5 towards the trip. If you have a problem with paying this, please arrange to speak to me.
After School Club- 3:15- 6pm.
The After School Club is now up and running. Each session costs £8 and includes a snack. Payment will need to be made in advance. Please ask the School Office for a registration pack.
Vacancy for Midday Assistant
