Red Noses – We are selling red noses for the forthcoming Red Nose Day in March, they will be on sale at break time in the dining hall for £1.25 cash, or you can pay £1.30 on sQuid (this includes a small transaction fee which would normally be deducted from the amount, so that the charity can receive the full amount).

Eco Club – Monday until 4pm, making Eco Crafts and planning the forthcoming plastic free day in school.(Ks2 only)

Medical Appointments – Please can you make any routine medical or dental appointments for after school time, or during school holidays. If this is not possible, please could you make them after 2.30, as we would prefer your child to be picked up early rather than arrive late for school. Thank you

Free money – well almost!

We currently have two schemes running that can raise free money for little or no effort. If you do any online shopping please sign up with Easyfundraising.org.uk, and the school will receive a small amount for every purchase from shops such as Amazon, John Lewis, ebay, M&S, Argos, Booking.com, Debenhams, Next, Sainsburys, Just Eat etc.

We are one of the chosen charities for the Co-op, so if you doing any shopping at the Co-op please become a member and choose our school as your chosen charity.

Any money raised from these two schemes will go towards purchasing new playground equipment for the school.

Thank you
