Dear Parents and Carers,

It has been a really busy week for us! Most of our classes have been to the Bernie Grant Arts Centre for the Punch-drunk performances. They were lucky enough to watch a thought– provoking performance of one of our favourite empathy stories; ‘Grandpa’s Island’. Both pupils and teachers were mesmerised by the beautiful performances. We would like to thank Ms Henry and the PTA for putting on a wonderful party for our Year 6 children this year. It was a lovely way of saying goodbye to our Year 6’s but also thank you for their contributions that have benefitted us all– they have been a truly wonderful year group. We wish a very restful weekend.

School Dinner/Packed Lunch September 2018

Due to our new cashless system being

implemented from September, your child will

no longer be able to have school dinner one

day and packed lunch another day. You will

have to decide whether your child has school

dinner or packed lunch for the whole of the

half term. Please discuss this with your child

and let us know in September what you

decide. You will be able to change your mind

each half term. Please call the office if you

have any questions.

Please read attached letter carefully!
