Good afternoon, I hope you have all had a good summer. We are looking forward to seeing the children back to school tomorrow. We have four children starting with us who live in the village, Sophia Learoyd (F1), Archie Ruck (Y1), Milo Chaplow (Y1) and Elijah Chaplow (Y3), I look forward to welcoming them to school. For your convenience, we have installed a 'Quick Drop' post box outside the school office to save queuing when returning dinner money/letters etc. It can be found on the wall next to Mrs. Gibson's classroom. Please make sure any money is in a named envelope, there are envelopes available. I am aware that the school office does get busy in a morning and I hope this will help. The doors open as normal at 8.40am with Classes 1, 2 & 3 starting registration at 8.50am. The Foundation door opens at 8.45am with registration starting at 9.00am. Please help us by making sure your children are in class promptly. Some clubs will begin next week. Football will be on a Monday evening until 4.30pm. I will alternate the club between, Y1/2/3 and Y4/5/6. The children who attend the Y4/5/6 training will also be involved in some of the league and cup matches. The clubs are open to both girls and boys.
