Dear Parents/Carers
Yet another busy week. A huge thank you to all the children for donating their teddies to ‘Project Paddington’ and to the Rev. Johnathon Cain for coming in to school to speak to the children.
Year 3 has had a fantastic trip to Pizza Express this week and by all accounts the food tasted great. Well done to Year 3 for representing Ben Rhydding Primary schools well.
Health and Safety Notice
We are now starting to close most of the school gates at 4pm. I would just like to remind you that once you have collected your children from class, parents/carers must take responsibility for anyone staying on in the playground.
