Thank you to all who attended the Chocolate Bingo Evening. It was very successful and enjoyable. We also appreciated the support regarding the Easter Passion and Easter Gardens, which were very creative and imaginative.

We also have an OFSTED inspection this week and we hope all the success, progress and hard work by the staff and children pays off.

Clothes Collection: The clothes’ collection for the under-privileged in Asia and Africa returns on the 16/06/11. If you have any unwanted clothes to donate, the van will be here from 8.45am

School Dinner Prices: Our school dinner prices will remain at £1.65 for the near future. We are finding it difficult to keep the price down with external pressures on food and transport costs but we are determined to keep the price as low as possible.

Thank you: Thank you to all the children who attended Church for the May Procession and thank you to all children and staff for preparing the wonderful banners for the procession. We would also like to thank the ladies from the Flower Club who celebrated National Flower Arranging Day with lessons for our Year 5 children.
