⚽ Exciting news! Tomorrow and for all upcoming England games, your child is welcome to wear their England shirt or strip to school for just a £1 donation. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 It's a wonderful way to show your school spirit while supporting a great cause. Let's go, England! 🎉

Don’t forget to bring your £1 tomorrow for non-uniform day! Come dressed in non-uniform or in your favourite team’s colours to celebrate the WORLD CUP kicking off! 🦵 ⚽️

This time of year is very busy for the PTFA, arranging end of year trips and treats across the school so any support will be going straight back to the children and would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who has already completed our parent survey.

We doubled our numbers yesterday to 51 responses BUT it would be great if we could get this into the hundreds [357 children in school] so that we have a balanced view of ALL stakeholders.

You can access the link via Class Dojo.

Survey closes at midnight on Friday 12th June 2026.

Warm Regards,

Mr. Hankey

Last week, Nursery were reading the story ‘Aliens love Underpants’ and were very busy creating their own flying saucer picture. 👽 We also read the story ‘Man on the Moon’ and had a surprise visit from an astronaut called Bob. 🧑‍🚀 The children loved meeting Bob. They asked him questions about space and had their photograph taken with him before he flew away in his rocket. 🚀

This week, we are excited to welcome our newest children who will be joining us in September for their stay and play sessions. 🥰

We have a very limited number of places left in Nursery for this September, so if you would like some more information, please give the office a call on 01782 234811. 😊
