Head of School Message

Dear parents/carers,

We have had a wonderful first week back at school and the children (and staff!) have got back into the swing of the school routines very quickly.  We have a very busy term ahead of us so please take note of the key dates below for your diaries.  I have also shared our term dates for next year to help you in planning any leave or holidays.  Please note that holiday requests in term time will be unauthorised.

We are looking forward to the FOB’s ‘Springo’ event tomorrow evening from 6pm! Please note this will be a cash only event.

We also have the Shropshire Primary School Half Marathon event coming up on Saturday 25th April.  Please see further information here.

Have a lovely weekend and let’s hope for some sunshine!

Mrs Mavin, Mr Andrews will be present on the day and I will be with the school banner near the Head quarters (race day info point) and on the spectators field side of the building.  Meet at the banner and then we will head to the start line when needed.  Each year group will run together. Once they have completed the race and at the finish line they will meet Mr Andrews who will direct them to the collection point and parents can collect their children from here by showing their wrist band.  Each child has a bib number and the parent will have a matching numbered wrist band to aid with collection and for safety.
If parking at the show ground: £3 in CASH only or park at Frankwell and its a 15 minute walk across.
Children will be given their T shirts and numbers this week. Children to wear the T-shirts and numbers on the day.
