Dear Parents/Carers, It will be half term next week and we are looking forward to seeing you at our Parent - Teacher meetings after the break. The children are now settling into routines and are learning new things everyday. Below you will find dates of upcoming events for the next half term, a request for any old children's clothes, as well as a variety of other information. I hope you find the information interesting and I hope many of you will be able to help us with some of the different opportunities we have outlined. In the meantime we are here as always to work in the best possible way with you, to help your child achieve their very best. Please come and talk to us if you have any questions or concerns. With regards, Ms Gita |

Nursery Places Do you have or know anyone who has a child whose birthday is between 1st September 2020 to 31st August 2021? Do you know that they are entitled to 15 hours free nursery place? We have a few nursery places still available so please do contact us. We are able to offer a fun and stimulating environment with support in all areas of development. If you have a child who will be 3 before the end of this term and you would like them to start nursery in the new year please come and see us. This would mean they would still be in nursery for this and next academic year, and will give them a really good start to their educational lives. |
