A great opportunity for our young carers to enjoy new experiences this summer—don’t miss out!

As we approach the Easter holidays, we understand that this time can be particularly challenging for some of our families.

We would like to share local foodbank opening times over the Easter period to help support anyone who may need it.

If you or someone you know would benefit from support, we are here to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Family Engagement Officer, Charlotte Tumber, who can offer guidance and assistance in a confidential and supportive manner.

Please come to take a look at the lost property along Chaffinches fence today. Any unclaimed items will be offered free to a good home next week.

As it is a sunny day, the lost property has been hung on the fence outside Chaffinches Class to make it easy to look through. Please come and take a look if you are missing any items.

Coffee Morning in aid of Finnbar's Force

Next Thursday, we are holding a fundraising bring-and-share coffee morning in aid of Finnbar's Force. They are a local childhood cancer charity who provide amazing support for children who have had a cancer diagnosis and their families. They are currently supporting one of our Y1 families. It would be great to see as many people as possible, to raise money for this very important charity.

Just like our PTA bake sales, we are asking you to bring something to share in return for a donation to the charity. (Please label ingredients and no nuts or sesame please!) We will provide drinks. It will be a great opportunity for a mingle and a chat with fellow parents and carers. We will provide things to keep pre-schoolers busy too.

Date: Next Thursday 12th March
Time: 9-10:30
Where: St Thomas's Church Hall, Earlham Road

If you are not able to attend but would like to make a donation, please donate through the QR code on our poster!
