This week we have been discussing our school rules:
Be responsible
Be respectful
Be ready to learn
With the children, we have been looking at how these rules fit into good habits in every aspect of civil and academic conduct.
In collective worship, we launched a competition for the children to design a poster that advertises our school rules. If your child would like to take part in the competition, all entries need to be returned to school by Friday 17th September.
Thank you,
Mrs Gurner

The School term dates for 2021/22 have been amended following the published amended legislation regarding the additional bank holiday.
The total school year will therefore be 194 days to accommodate the additional Bank Holiday. As the additional bank holiday is during spring bank holiday week, an additional days holiday has been added to the start of the summer holidays. This means we will break up for the Summer holidays in 2022, on Wednesday 21st July not Thursday 22nd July.
Thank you
