Headteacher’s Message
We have finally completed the work on our playground, and now have our new boiler ready for the winter and the new canopy to offer some shade for when the sun comes out again. Please do not allow your children to climb on the posts for the new canopy when they are waiting to come into school in the morning, we really do appreciate your support with this.
