A huge thank you to Harley's grandad for treating everyone at school to the ice cream van today!
The children were absolutely delighted, and it was such a lovely surprise that brought lots of smiles and excitement to the day. Your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated by all the pupils and staff.

We received an email from mum today to update school on Eric's weekend, we asked if we could share it and mum agreed. This is a fantastic achievement for Eric and also for mum. Congratulations to you both and also to Tiny Steps

Yesterday Eric walked 16.5 miles for Tiny Steps, a charity we have been a part of for so long and wanted to give back so we signed up for the annual walk in memory of Dave Holman who sadly passed away 10 years ago. With the weather I decided Eric would just start the walk off but he absolutely smashed it and walked with a smile enjoying the day. At 16.5 miles he looked at me and said home so he was taken straight to my parents. I’m beyond proud of him. I went on to finish the 26 miles raising over £800.
The team so far have raised over £10,000.
AMAZING.
