Inter-School Dogeball competiton – our first ever Inter-School house dodgeball competition took place this afternoon. It was great to see the four different houses all competing against each other. Everyone in KS1 and KS2 got involved and had such fun. Thank you very much to Mrs Wilson who planned, organised and ran this event this afternoon. It was a great success and we will look to having another in-school tournament in the next term. Well done everyone who took part.

Parent Governor Vacancy – We have a vacancy for a parent governor. Application forms have been sent home with your child. Please consider if you would like to be part of how the school is run and managed. There are two meetings per term to attend. Your opinions matter. Come and join in having your say. The forms give all the information you need to know to get involved. If you’d like to know a bit more of what is involved please give me a ring or come and see me. Alternatively, Mr Darren Bagley (Y2 & Y4 parent) could give you the heads up as to what is involved.

Rescheduled DATE FOR YOUR DIARY

NSPCC Online Safety Parent and Carer Information Workshop -Thursday 2nd February 2017 2:00pm

We are really pleased to offer a session, from the NSPCC, which will be all about increasing parent and carer confidence, competence and responsibility in keeping your child safe online.

The session will last for approximately 50 minutes to an hour and you will be able to pick up your children from school when it finishes.

For those of you, who have pre-school children, who may need some entertaining we will be offering a play session for them during the workshop.

Please come and join us and see what the latest up to date information is from the NSPCC and what their specialists have to say about keeping children safe online.

We are working hard to educate your children about the issues in school, but support from you at home is vital to make the education effective.

We look forward to seeing you there.
