🚨 A reminder that school finishes for the summer holidays tomorrow at 12:00pm, with pupils returning on Tuesday 18th August. We hope all our families enjoy a wonderful summer break.

As the school year comes to a close, we would like to extend a huge thank you to all our parents and carers for your amazing support throughout the year. Your generosity, enthusiasm and encouragement particularly with our fundraising efforts have helped make this a very successful year for the Parent Council and the school community.

We are incredibly grateful for everything you have done to support our events and activities, including helping to make our Fun Day such a great success.

Looking ahead, our next major event will be our Ceilidh Night in November, so keep an eye out for further details after the summer holidays.

Thank you once again for your continued support. We wish everyone a happy and relaxing summer! ☀️

📣 Reminder for tomorrow 📣

The school have arranged for Ally Mallinson to come to school, Thursday 18 June, for a whole-school bike fun day.

If your child has a bike/helmet please encourage them to bring them into school on Thursday.

Don't worry if your child does not have a bike or helmet as Ally has some spare ones.
