Little Voices Nottingham & Loughborough are returning to Long Whatton school with their popular Drama club on a Wednesday after-school. You may remember the fantastic performance from the group at the summer fair in June.

The group is open to Year 1 onwards and focuses on fun, confidence building, creativity and expression through Drama and Singing. Spaces are £8 per week and you can book a space by visiting:

We're looking forward to catching up with parents on Monday morning and meeting new ones.

After dropping the kids back to school, why not join us in the hall for a drink and chat? All parents and carers are welcome.

As the end of another school year is upon us, we’d like to wish the Year 6 children a happy and smooth transition into their new schools. We wish you all lots of luck and hope that you all have a fabulous summer! ☀️

⚠️ Face Painting Information
Our professional face painter uses cosmetic-grade products and follows excellent hygiene practices. If you do not want your child to have their face painted, please let us know when you drop them off and they’ll be given a wristband so our painter can easily identify them.

Let’s give the children an amazing send-off to the school year and celebrate another fantastic year together! 💚

We can’t wait to see everyone on the dancefloor! 🪩🎶💚

📣 SUMMER FETE ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

Today, we were delighted to invite some of our children to help reveal the grand total raised from our Summer Fete during Honours Assembly.

Now, we're excited to share the news with all of our followers! 🎉
Watch the reel to discover the amazing amount raised for our wonderful school.

This fantastic achievement would not have been possible without the incredible support of our school community and local businesses.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time, donated prizes, sponsored activities, baked cakes, ran stalls, attended the event, purchased raffle tickets, and supported us in countless ways.

Together, we created a truly memorable event while raising vital funds for our school.

❤️ Our heartfelt thanks go to each and every one of you for helping us make a difference for our children.

🪩 Our next event will be the End of Year Disco on Friday 3rd July from 5:30pm–7:00pm. More details will be shared soon!

Over the last few days, we've been reaching out to the many local businesses, organisations and community groups who supported our Summer Fete to share just how successful the event was and to thank them for their generous donations, sponsorship and support.

Many of our supporters didn't just contribute behind the scenes either – they came along on the day to see the fete in action, joined in with the games and stalls, and enjoyed the fantastic entertainment alongside our families and wider community.

Today, we're excited to share some of the wonderful feedback we've received. It's been incredible to hear how much people enjoyed the event, with several organisations already expressing an interest in supporting us again next year. Knowing that the fete didn't just raise funds for our school, but also brought people together, strengthened community connections and lifted spirits is something we're immensely proud of. 🤩

A special mention goes to Canine Partners, who have asked us to pass on their heartfelt thanks to everyone who stopped by to meet Crumpet, Frank and Rusti and learn more about the life-changing work they do. The dogs were a real highlight of the day and received so much love from our school community. Throughout the fete, Canine Partners were able to raise awareness of their charity, speak with visitors about their assistance dog partnerships and the difference they make to people's lives, as well as raise valuable funds to support their work helping people with physical disabilities gain greater independence.

Canine Partners will also be holding a Summer Fun Day at their Ashby Road centre on 1st August from 10am–3pm. We'll share more information about this event as soon as we receive it.

To everyone who donated, volunteered, attended, sponsored, performed, ran stalls, supported and cheered us on – thank you. Our grateful thanks go to all who helped make this event such a fantastic success. We couldn't have done it without you.
