Dear Parent
It has been a sheer joy and delight to welcome you and your children to school today. I will continue to be at the school gate to say hello and if you want to come along to introduce yourself, please do.
It is amazing how “normal” schools immediately and it is just lovely to hear and feel the buzz and excitement of our amazing pupils and talented staff fill the classrooms and corridors.
SLT will be finalising some dates this week, but I hope the following information is useful for you and also gives some advanced notice of some upcoming dates for your diary.
- Any data capture forms should be completed and returned to school by Friday 8 September 2023
- Breakfast Club, 2-3 Club and School Meals are open for booking (online only)
