Please have a good look at home for any school books that need returning to the school. We don't mind if you've had them for days, months or even years. We would love to be able to re-shelve them ready for full use again in September.
Thank you
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful parents and children who joined us for our parents' meeting on Monday evening (4th July). It was lovely to all be together and share lots of information about the years ahead. The team are all so excited to get started in September and they have been busy spending time with the parents this week, to discuss individual needs!
