See you there 👋!

Book now - https://www.premier-education.com/parents/venue/courses/2049/?location=Birchfield%20Yeovil&distance=0.1&distance=0.1 and choose from our Gymnastics, Football or Multi Activity themed days! 🤩

PS - did you know, our gym days are ran by British Gymnastics qualified coaches? 🤸

Don't forget our friends from Premier Education East Somerset will be holding their holiday camps here at school next week. Please see how your child can bring a friend for free!

We have a lot of lost property currently. Some of it is named and will be returned to your child for them to bring home.

The majority of it is not named. Tomorrow, we will be placing these items on tables on the playground both before and after school. You are very welcome to come and see if there are items you would like to take- we know extra uniform can be hugely helpful to families. We look forward to seeing you there. 😊
