Today we have had a non-school uniform day to collect donations for the Christmas Fair. Thank you all so much for your kind donations, we are very grateful for your support with this. We are very excited for the Fair next week and hope to see lots of you there.
The children had a great time watching the pantomime today. We would like to thank the PTA for kindly paying for this. It was a great start to the Christmas celebrations.
Our final preparations for the KS2 Instrument concert, Nativity and KS2 Carol concert are well underway. We would like to remind all of those attending the performances that photos are allowed to be taken - but they must NOT be posted on any social media platforms if they contain any other children. Thank you to all those parents who have helped with costumes - it's very much appreciated.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

The rise in awareness of mental health issues has given way to several easily accessible services to help with such problems – for example, wellbeing apps promising to serve as an assistive tool for anyone in need of support. While these can be useful to some, there are a few risks which are important to consider – especially if a child or young person is using the app.
Of course, it can be tricky to know exactly where the safety concerns lie with a service intended to help and support its users – and it can be harder still to safeguard younger users. This free guide breaks down the online safety risks of mental health and wellbeing apps, before letting you know how best to keep children and young people safe if they ever wish to use these services.
