A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped at our working party day today!

We really do have the most amazing community, and together we’ve achieved so much. From creating, improving and getting stuck in, every helping hand has made a difference.

We’re so excited to see our OPAL play opportunities continuing to grow and develop, giving our children even more freedom, creativity and adventure in their play. 🌿✨

Thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy and enthusiasm — we couldn’t do it without you! What a brilliant team!

We’re moving to My Child At School (MCAS), our new all-in-one platform for school communications, attendance reporting, parents’ evening bookings, trip information and payments.

Please take a look at the poster to see some of the great features MCAS has to offer. A ParentMail containing further information, including the rollout timeline and activation details, has also been sent to all parents and carers today.

We look forward to making communication between home and school even easier through MCAS!

🌿 Opal Working Party Day 🌿
Would you be able to spare a little time to help us make our children’s play space even better?

We’re holding an Opal Working Party Day and would love to have as many parents and carers as possible join us. Whether you can spare a whole day, an hour, or just lend a hand with a particular job, every bit of help makes a difference.

It’s a great chance to work together as a school community and create a fantastic space for our children to enjoy. Many hands really do make light work!

If you’re able to come along and help, please let your child’s class teacher or the school office know.
We’d love to see you there, thank you for helping us make our children’s play space the best it can be! 💚

A new small world area within our OPAL play will be opening on Monday!

The children were introduced to the new area during assembly today and are already bursting with ideas about how they can use their imaginations to create exciting stories and imaginative play experiences. There was even talk of a cow going to space!🐄🚀

We can’t wait to see where their creativity takes them!

As always if anyone has anything they are able to donate it would be greatly appreciated.

The children will be taking part in this tomorrow in support of a very worthy cause. If you would like to make a voluntary donation, please send it with your child to give to their class teacher. Thank you for your support.
