We are experiencing a lot of sickness around school at present.  We have some junior staff who are now off for the rest of the week and arrangements have been made to cover those in Room 4 and Room 5.     Please, if your children are unwell we would appreciate if you keep your child resting at home.

Prize Giving is still going ahead as planned (even if we have limited staff in attendance).   We are looking forward to seeing you at the Complex – 12pm.
