Dear Parents/Guardian,
Thank you for your continued support which is ensuring excellent standards continue throughout school.
Reading Holiday Challenge
This proved to be a huge success with many children visiting a library over half term and reading at least 2 books. The pupils received their certificates in family assembly and are now proudly wearing their bronze and/or silver reading badges. Please keep up this regular habit of reading for enjoyment!
World Book Day
All children received their chosen book (or voucher Year 6).
