Important Information
This is a very busy half term for the children in Year 6.
Please look out for notices/letters that will be sent home about trips, leavers parties, leavers’ assemblies, summer fair, reports etc.
Please also make sure the school are made aware about days your child may need to have off due to visits to secondary school etc.
