We have been informed of a case of threadworms in school again. If you find that your child is affected, information can be found on the NHS website on how to administer treatment.  We ask that you do administer treatment if your find that your child is affected, to prevent them from being passed to other children.

Thank you

This was our first ‘On Time’ week – our new initiative to improve punctuality. Each time a child has been in school by 8:45 am a ticket with their name on has gone into a box e.g. if they have been on time every day, they will have had 5 tickets in the box.

The raffle was drawn at the end of the day in our Friday worship and the winner was Isaac S in Birch class. Isaac will receive a £10 gift card for The Works next week and we will repeat this each half term.

Well done to Birch class who had the highest attendance for the second week in a row!
