Thank you for all your support, we still have some curries left if anyone would like to order some.
The final fundraiser is the summer raffle; each family will be given £20 raffle tickets, or however many you can sell from your class representative. Then return the stubs and money to your representative before the end of term please. We will make summer hampers as prizes so any donations for them will be gratefully received by either your class representative or the school office.
Thank you so very much for all the support, it has been a busy half term however we have raised a great amount of money to help school buy new books and computers.

Safeguarding, Health and Wellbeing Updates
Sun safety
Finally, we have some sunshine! We are delighted but it is important we keep the children safe during these sunny periods. Please ensure your child has the following on hot sunny days to keep them safe: sun hat/cap, water bottle and suncream applied before arriving at school. If you wish, you may also provide your child with suncream to top-up at school; this needs to be a named bottle and your child will need to apply it themselves (adults will supervise and support as necessary for each age-group). Please take extra care to ensure your suncream does not contain any nut ingredients or extracts - thank you.
