Easter Hat Parade

So come on let us see how creative you can be! Completed hats should be brought into school on Monday/Tuesday clearly marked with your child’s name. These will then go on display in school.

KS1 Football Training (Reception 1 & 2 children)

After the Easter break we will be running Football Coaching Sessions for our younger boys and girls, details are as follows; The sessions will run for 10 weeks, 20 places will be available, these will run each Wednesday beginning 4th May from 3.30pm until 4.30pm. Children should wear their PE kits and trainers. Because the children are smaller could we ask parents whose children take part to help them change into their kit, as we don’t want to miss out on coaching! The sessions will be run by a coach from the NUFC Foundation. The total cost will be £10 payable by 4th May) If your child would like to take part, please write a note giving permission and hand it in to the school office.
