A number of parents have been asking for holiday dates for the next academic year. Before we can send out our holiday lists these need to go before our Governing Body for approval. We will be meeting shortly and holiday dates will be sent out before half term.

Football Training

Your child will have brought a letter home from Mr. Wood last week regarding football training for our KS2 children, details are as follows;


Tuesdays Under 11 girls

Wednesdays Under 9 boys

Thursdays Under 11 boys

These sessions will begin at 3.15pm and finish at 4.30pm. If your child is taking part please make sure they have their kit with them. We are restricted to the number of children who can take part in the training as it is being held indoors for the moment.

Tots to Teams

We have received a letter from our uniform supplier Tots to Teams notifying us that they have unfortunately had to increased their prices. This is because of a reduced level of cotton stocks, which has had a huge affect on the cost of buying cotton. They have assured us that they will endeavour to keep all price changes to a minimum.

Key Stage 1 Football

Mr. Wood has asked us to inform KS1 parents that there will be no after school football training until further notice.
