We still have spaces in our Reception Class for September 2024. If you know anyone who still needs a space for this September, and would like their child to join our fantastic new Early Years classroom please ask them to call the school office for details on 01684 293577.

We were all greatly saddened to hear of the recent death of Jeremy Horsfall. Jeremy was a Twyning School Governor for over 20 years and we all benefitted from his legal expertise, wisdom and good advice. He rarely missed a governor meeting and was a great supporter of our school events. He will certainly be remembered for his striking seasonal jumpers when he came along to assist with Christmas Lunches!

 Jeremy had only recently stood down as a governor due to ill health and we are so pleased that Miss Gladstone and some of our governors were able to visit him to present a beautiful thank-you card made by the School Council. We know that he was thrilled with that. 

Jeremy contributed so much to the village and the local community over many years including leading the Parish Council. He will be very much missed and our thoughts are with his family. 

(Carol Chapman  - Vice Chair of Governors)
