STAFF CHANGES
Miss Cable will be leaving us on Friday 7th April. She has decided on a change of career. We wish her lots of luck.
Mrs Bowers has also decided not to return after her maternity leave. After over 12 years at our school, she really will be missed. I’m sure you’ll join me in wishing her lots of success and happiness. Enjoy those precious moments with Edith and Clarence. They’ll grow up far too fast!!!

As soon as we have appointed a new member of staff to teach in Year 4, we’ll let you know.

RED NOSE DAY – FRIDAY 24th MARCH 2017
As part of our SMSC and Community agenda, each term, we raise money for a charity. The School Council have decided that this term they would like to support ‘Red Nose Day’. They have suggested that the theme should be ‘wear red’. Children can wear anything red. It could be a superhero costume, a strawberry, red socks, a red wig, painted red face, red bow, etc. Suggested contributions between 50p - £1. Many thanks.
PTFA – SUMMER FAYRE MEETING
A few members of our PTFA are eager to organise a Summer Fayre. To ensure the event is well organised and a success, we need to start preparing now!!
