Weekly reminders for week beginning 5th October 2026

It is hard to believe that we are already a week into October - where is the time going! 

Thank you to all of those who showed their support for the school on Thursday by having a school dinner! 

Harvest Festival
On Tuesday we will be having our annual Harvest Festival with the children. As per the letter that came out earlier in the term, we will be collecting for the Food Bank who are in great need at the moment. Please send donations in with the children and we will pass these on

World Mental Health Day

On Friday we will be supporting World Mental Health Day. This is a charity close to the school's heart and we ask that the children come to school in non-uniform including something yellow - this can be a small as a hair clip, a pattern on socks etc. to show their support. If you wish to donate this will also be gratefully received. PE will continue as normal. 

Year 2 and 3

The children in Year 2 and 3 will be taking part is a scooting workshop on Wednesday. All equipment will be provided.

Reception
We look forward to welcoming our Reception parents for Learn with my Child on Tuesday and Wednesday (please check with teachers if you are not sure which day you are due to come). As with the other year groups, regrettably we are unable to accommodate younger siblings at these events.

Sport

Good luck to the Boccia Team who take part in a Borough Competition on Thursday.

School Closure

Please do not forget that Friday 23rd October is a staff training day and therefore the school will be closed to children.

Each week, the Heads of Year as well as Miss Ward, Mrs Abeledo and Mrs Savidge choose a person (child or adult) who has been seen to do this and then they get to have Hot Chocolate with Mrs Savidge!
