Christmas Cards
Your children have been working really hard to create some brilliant Christmas Artwork! The portal is now open online for you to order them. In addition to Christmas Cards, you can also order tea towels, mugs, key rings - even wrapping paper with your child's artwork!
For every sale, the school receives a commission, some of which will be going back to each class for their Christmas parties!
To order please visit the Parent Order Portal and use the login details on the flyer.

The money raised will help St Raphael’s to provide exceptional end of life care to almost 1,000 patients and their families every year who live in Merton & Sutton. 75% of their running costs rely on the incredible support and generosity of the community. During this difficult time for all of us, they need you now more than ever.

Grief Awareness Week
On average, 111 children in the UK lose a parent every day - plus many will have to deal with the loss of other family members, friends or pets. Children should be provided with the skills to comprehend loss and to prepare for the emotions and feelings that accompany a bereavement which at some point, we all have to face.
