Dear Parents, Firstly four huge thank you’s!! 1. The harvest collection raised £104. Thank you so much. 2. The WISH cake sale was so successful; we had so many cakes to sell. It was brilliant. 3.

Thank you Miss Gibbs (Harry’s mum). The Drive Last week the drive became extremely dangerous! Even when it’s raining, please park elsewhere or at least considerately. The parents of children in the SLC are able to use the staff car park, but this is not possible when people park across the gate! We do have children who may need an ambulance at any time. PLEASE keep our gates clear. Family Photos Please return your orders with payment by this Thursday. Thank you. Apples If you would like any apples, please help yourself from our orchard.
