Dear Parent

PTA Quiz Night

An enormous thank you to all who organised and took part in the PTA Quiz last Friday night. It was a brilliant evening with a wonderful atmosphere and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The raffle, in particular, was a real highlight with some incredibly generous prizes donated. Of course, there was one disappointment – the teachers’ team only came third!
