Parent Views
Thank you to all parents who gave us feedback via the parent charter questionnaire. Your views and opinions do matter to us and they will be collated this Friday. Please look out for our updates on this piece of school improvement work in future newsletters.
Class of the week 22nd – 26th September
Well done to the children in Class 10 for achieving a level of 99.3%. We are very proud of you.
Charitable Giving
We are always humbled by the generosity of our families when it comes to charitable giving. The recent MacMillan coffee morning raised £130.75 which we know will help to make a huge difference to the support Macmillan can offer families affected by cancer.
Each and every one of us will have charities close to our hearts and as a school we also like to support charitable giving. We have therefore chosen various organisations to help over the coming year through holding various activities and have outlined them below so that you can decide if there are any you would like to give to.
