Year 2 had a terrific time on Thursday afternoon when they made their moving vehicles. They had to design and make a vehicle on wheels to transport a giraffe! The vehicle had to have two axles (at least) and the wheels all had to turn when the car was pushed.

There were wheels, dowels, saws, felt tips, boxes, scissors, reels of selotape everywhere and everyone managed to get their vehicle to move (with a little support from the parents and carers to came along to support the children - thank you, your presence was invaluable!)! Well done, Year 2!

We introduced our new catering provider, Dolce Ltd, last January. As we approach the summer term, we felt it an appropriate time to gather some feedback from families. We would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes of your time to complete the survey

Your responses will help us ensure that we have the best possible service for your children.

From September 2025, we will need to increase our Lates fees from £10.00 to £13.50 per day. 

We have kept our rate lower than many other schools for the last few years and our price does still remain competitive. However, as school costs continue to rise, sadly, so must our charge. We hope that by informing you now, those of you who use this facility, have as much notice as possible.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Everyone who has completed the booking forms for Earlies & Lates for next term (after EAster) will have received confirmation of their bookings and the policy & procedures agreement to sign.

Thank you for your continued support.
