What a fantastic performance by years 5 and 6! Thanks to the amazing year 6 film crew, DVDs/Digital downloads of the performance are available to order now through ParentPay. Don't forget to put your order in before end of term

For those coming to watch Y5/6 performances on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, Friends of School will be serving refreshments, so do bring along some cash to treat yourselves and the children!

A big 'Thank You' for supporting our ice-cream sales over the past few weeks. Our last sale was due to be today, but the weather got the better of us. If you're attending the year 5/6 performances next week we'll be selling off our last stock, so do treat yourselves. You never know, if there's some sunny weather in September we may just get the freezer out again!

We’ll be giving away (yes, no charge!) the rest of our non logo preloved uniform at Saturday’s village garage sale. Pop by the Scout gazebo opposite the butchers between 10 and 2 to pick up trousers, skirts, dresses and shorts for next term!

Don’t forget it’s non school uniform tomorrow, £1 donation to the school. Then on Monday it’s the bake sale!

We’re back in the playground tomorrow after school - looks like a hot one so don’t forget some cash!

Tea-towels have arrived!! They should be making their way to you this week and we hope you love them as much as we do. We do have a limited number of spares available at £5 each. Drop us a message or come and see us on Friday in the playground when we’ll also be selling ice creams and giving away non logo uniform.

The Betsey Wynne are very kindly donating £5 from each ticket to the school so if you fancy an afternoon or evening out why not go along!

Thanks to your continued support, (including still buying ice-creams from us in the drizzle on Friday), we are able to pay for outdoor play items such as the brilliant new play shelter for Foundation. We hope the children enjoy many happy playtimes pretending to sail a pirate ship or wherever their imagination takes them. We're planning to be back on the playground on Friday again with ice-creams and giving away our non branded pre-loved uniform stock - see you then!

REMINDER - FROZEN FRIDAY TOMORROW. Don't forget to bring some change to treat the kids and yourselves! We'll be out on the playground with the freezer from 3.15 - see you there

This Friday at pick up... as per email from the school today we are stopping selling pre-loved non logo uniform (with the exception of PE shorts), so we'll be emptying out our cupboard on Friday for you to stock up on uniform. There will be no charge for any items, but we will happily take any donations. We'll continue to sell jumpers, cardigans and PE uniform.

🍦Frozen Fridays are back for the summer term! We'll be in the playground again with our freezer after school on Friday so come and treat the kids and yourselves 😜 Prices 50p to £1
