Dear Parents I am extremely excited about attending tonight’s performance of Madagascar! The Years 6 & 7 have been working hard under Mrs Mayhews’ direction to produce what promises to be a thrilling production.

Dear Parents It was good to see that the rain and wind did not deter prospective parents from visiting the school for Open Morning earlier today. We had a very good number of visitors who were expertly guided around the facilities by our tour guides from Years 5, 6, and 8 . My thanks to…
Dear Parents As I don my wellies and make my way out to the field to enjoy the Year 3s’ flagship sporting fixture of the year, the Tag Rugby and Netball Festival, I am reminded of the busy and varied nature of our children’s lives. This afternoon, most of the rest of the school will…
