We appreciate understanding on the problems we had with sound but it didn't detract from the incredible performances all these wonderful children put on!

Read MoreBook bags
Published 05/12/25, by Jen SteeleWe are having a big push on book bags in school.
Please help by sending your child to school with their book bag every day and writing in their reading records when they read at home. Four times a week is the school expectation as this is proven to make the biggest difference to reading progress.
Well done to Orange group because we had all but one book bag in today so almost everybody could get a new book!
The reads are being given to Mr Smith at the end of next week for the Autumn term reading mileage badges so there is still time to get up to 40 reads!
