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)
Dear parent / carer
We are excited to welcome the Scholastic Book Fair into our school next week (please see attachment). Children will be able to browse the book fair across the day tomorrow and parents / carers will be able to join children at the book fair from Monday 23rd March until Wednesday 25th March between 3:30pm and 4:00pm in the Key Stage 2 hall (enter through Year 5 / 6 doors).
For this event we will not be accepting cash, children must not bring cash into school for books. Parents / carers can make payment using a debit /credit card via QR code at the fair or by the following link https://bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/pay
Children will be given the opportunity to bring a Wish List home following their browsing slot and payment can also be made via the QR code at the bottom of the wish list. The Wish List must be returned to school once payment has been made.
If payment is made outside of the school fair times it is the responsibility of the parent / carer to inform school of the title of the book/books their child has chosen via the school office. Payment will be crossed referenced and books will be given to the child or ordered if out of stock.
During the week of the book fair £5 vouchers to spend at the fair will be given to 5 chosen children who have shown exceptional effort during reading both in school and at home.
The more money that is spent at the fair the more free books school will receive!
Thank you for continued support with such events it really makes a difference to our children in school.
Kind regards
Mrs Watson
Deputy Head Teacher
