and Nursery School
We are a busy and lively school with lots going on to enrich the experiences of all of our children.
In this section of our website, you can find out about what has been happening in and outside of our school and lots of things that we have planned for the coming weeks.
Mrs Shaw (Head Teacher)
We are thrilled to announce that not only we will be holding a Santa Fun Run again this year on Friday 6th December 2024, but it will be much more exciting with Christmas themed activities and a snow machine (weather dependent)!!! Children, in Reception to Year 6, taking part in the Fun Run can come to school that day in their PE kit or 'suitable for running' Christmas fancy dress. There will also be a range of festive pieces (novelty headwear, glasses etc.) that will be available on the day. Appropriate footwear for running is compulsory. They will also need to bring a spare pair of shoes to school that day to change into after the run. Your child will receive a lovely Santa Fun Run medal for taking part. If you would like your child to take part you will need to please pay a minimum donation of £3.50 on ParentPay, to cover the cost of the medal. Any additional donations received will go towards Christmas parties for the children, Santa’s Grotto and to subsidise the Pantomime trip. Normal debt policy will apply. The maximum number of participants for this event is 200 children, places will be allocated on a 'first come, first served' basis.
For the first time we will be having a whole school elf day when children and staff can come to school dressed as elves. This can be as inventive or as minimal as you wish e.g. just dress in green and make some cardboard elf ears. Please do not feel that you have to buy an elf costume. The day is more about us having fun together and a dedicated day of Christmas activities. Weather permitting we hope that all children will be able to have hot chocolate and marshmallows in our wooded area, therefore children must come to school with a warm coat and appropriate footwear. We will be doing lots of lovely Christmas activities, such as making Christmas cards, singing songs around the piano and a visit to Santa’s Grotto.
