Our Year 4, 5 and 6 pupils took part in a water safety workshop with PC Paul this week to learn about the dangers of swimming in wild waters and what to do in an emergency.

Summer Fayre 2026 – Friday 10th July 2026

The gates will be open from 1.15pm - Parents/Guardians are asked to pick their children up from their classrooms before heading around the fayre. Stalls will be set up around the playground area. If rain is forecast, the fayre will be held indoors.

Children whose Parents/Guardians are unable to attend will be taken around the fayre by a member of staff. You may send them with some money to spend, please put this in an envelope with your child’s name written on and hand it to their class teacher during morning registration.

There will be lots of stalls on the day including, Bric-a-Brac, Games, Toys, Books, Tombola(s), Cakes, Sweets and Refreshments.

If anyone would like their own stall to sell items, please contact the school office. These are priced at £10 each. The gates will be open for you to set up from 12.30pm.

Please note we are only able to accept cash payments at the fayre.

We would be thankful for donations of the following items:

Bric-a-brac items
Toys
Books
Chocolates / sweets
Toiletries
Gift sets
Buns / cakes
Cuddly Toys

All donations can be left at the school office.

Thank you for your support, we look forward to seeing you there!

Sports Day 2026
Sports Day will be held on Wednesday 24th June 2026 this year.

FS1/FS2 will be holding their sports day after morning registration at 9.15am. Children should be dropped off at school as normal. If you’re able to stay for Sports Day, please make your way to the school field after drop-off.

Once your child is registered, you will be asked to collect them from their classroom so that you can accompany them as they move around the different activities with their team.

KS1 & KS2 will be participating at the same time during the afternoon from 1.25pm to 2.45pm. Gates will open at 1.05pm - parents/guardians are asked to head around to the field upon entry. Please note the gates will be locked at 1.20pm so please ensure you arrive before this time.

Children will be assigned their team colours via their class DOJO later today.

The event should be finished by 2.45pm so parents/guardians may take their child home (including FS1/2 pupils). Please collect your child from their classroom.

Parents/Guardians are advised to fetch a picnic blanket / camp chair to sit on. Can we please ask that no dogs are brought on school grounds and also kindly request that parents/guardians do not smoke or v**e on school grounds. Thank you.

Thank you for your continued support and you have a week to prepare for the PARENTS RACE!!!

Mr Walton is running the World Cup!

Every goal in the world cup = 1km for Mr Walton.

So far he has run 46km since the World Cup started thanks to a special donation from Mr Lyons that meant he had to run double for the Germany 7-1 Curacao match last night!

He is doing it to raise money for the mental health charity MIND and if you could donate anything it would be much appreciated.
