Secret Santa
We are pleased to announce that the Secret Santa Grotto is nearly ready!
Visiting the grotto to choose presents for adult family members is an exciting part of our Christmas celebrations.
Please support our school by ordering gifts via the letter that has been sent home with your child today. Each gift costs £2.50 and all money raised is used to benefit all pupils.
Place the slip in an envelope with the correct change (if possible) and post it in the red post box in the main office by Friday 3rd December.
During the week of 6th December, pupils will visit the grotto to choose their presents. Once children have selected their gifts, they are lovingly wrapped by our Christmas elves.
Thank you to those of you who have already donated new/unused items. We are still taking donations which can be left in the marked collection box in the main office.

As part of our partnership with St Raphael’s Hospice we would love the children to make Christmas Cards, at home, to send to the residents there.
The theme for the cards this year is ‘Lights’.
Please post your finished cards in the Red Post Box in Reception by Friday 10th December.
We hope you have as much enjoyment from making them as the residents will get from receiving them.
We cannot wait to see the wonderful designs you come up with!

Friday 10th December - St Raphael's Rudolph Run and Christmas Jumper Day
Friday 10th December - St Raphael's Rudolph Run and Christmas Jumper Day
As part of our Christmas celebrations we will be taking part in the Rudolph Run on Friday 10th December. This is also Christmas jumper day.
The Rudolph Run is a charity event organised by St Raphael’s hospice in Sutton. 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.
The children should come to school in their Christmas jumpers and they will be provided with a red nose and antlers for a suggested £1 donation. Please can we ask that any sponsorship money for the Rudolph Run is paid to our JustGiving page for St Raphael’s Hospice by clicking here.
We really appreciate your support and hope that you’ll have fun helping us raise money for St Raphael’s Hospice.
Please check the dates section regularly as dates may change and new dates will be added.
