Whole School:
Anti-bullying week starts on Monday 16th November. (Theme Break the Silence) To start it off, we are joining in with Odd Socks Day. (Monday 16th Nov only) There is no collection for this, it is simply about supporting the idea that everyone is different and unique.
Next week is Census Week, and we would love to see as many children as possible attending our FREE Breakfast Club! Our Breakfast Club runs every morning from 8:15am and is a great way for children to start their school day with a tasty breakfast and a positive start to the morning. You can book your child’s place through the MyChildAtSchool (MCAS) app, or simply turn up on the day – no booking is necessary! To make Census Week even more exciting, we will be offering prizes to the top 3 families with the best attendance at Breakfast Club next week! To be in with a chance of winning, simply make sure your child attends Breakfast Club every day next week. Important: Children must arrive by 8:20am each morning to be included in the competition.
