We are a busy and lively school with lots going on to enrich the experiences of all of our children.

Mrs Shaw (Head Teacher)
We are thrilled to announce the return of our Santa Fun Run on Thursday, 11th December 2025!
Children participating in the Fun Run are encouraged to come to school dressed in their PE kit or in suitable Christmas-themed running fancy dress. We will also have a selection of festive accessories, such as novelty headwear and glasses, available on the day. Please remember that appropriate footwear for running is essential. Additionally, all participants need to bring a spare pair of shoes to change into after the run.
Each child will receive a lovely Santa Fun Run medal for their participation!
If you would like your child to join in, a minimum donation of £3.50 is required on ParentPay to cover the cost of the medal. Any extra donations will go towards subsidising the Pantomime trip. Nursery children that attend on an afternoon are welcome to come along with a parent / carer from 9:00am to 9:30am. Our debt policy applies to this event.
Please note that the maximum number of participants for this event is 220 children. Places will be allocated on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis. To ensure your child receives a medal for participation, your donation must be cleared in ParentPay by 12:00 pm on Wednesday, 10th December. If you need a barcode to make a cash donation at your local PayPoint, please contact the office and ensure payment is made before Friday, 5th December.
Thank you for helping to make this event a memorable and inspiring experience for our children!
On Friday 5th December we will be having Elf Day again. Santa Claus has the date in his very busy diary. For those children who were not with us on Elf Day last year it is a wonderful day when everyone dresses in green for the day (staff and children) and we have many Christmas activities including toasting marshmallows. All the children meet Santa in his grotto and receive a special gift.
