Message from Mrs Bana

"Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are."

At Grafton Primary, we work hard to support our children in practicing good manners every day. We kindly ask parents and carers to help reinforce this message by modeling the same respect and kindness when in the playground or interacting with staff and other parents.

🔊 SCHOOL CLOSED ON THURSDAY 7TH MAY ⚠️

Please be informed that on Thursday 7th May, the school will be closed to all pupils as it will be used as a polling station for the local elections.

Normal school day will resume on Friday 8th May.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Late Collection Notice

Starting Monday, 19th January, any children who are not collected on time will be taken to the Hub.

If you are running late, please go directly to the Hub to collect your child.

🎉 KS2 Play Area Upgrade Completed 🎉

We are pleased to announce that the upgrade to our KS2 play area has now been completed! This enhanced space is a significant improvement on the previous area, providing a more engaging, modern, and stimulating environment for our children.

The upgraded play area has been designed to support learning through play, encouraging children to explore, be creative, and stay physically active. It also promotes social interaction, teamwork, and wellbeing, offering a safe and enjoyable space for pupils to grow and develop.

This improvement reflects our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality facilities that enrich the school experience. We are delighted to see our KS2 children already enjoying and benefiting from this fantastic new space!
