Welcome back to our final half-term this school year. The Year 4 group are currently having a fantastic time in Liverpool – we can’t wait to hear how they have got on. Plus we are looking forward to our ‘Have Fun for Harry Day’ next Friday for the Harry Johnson Trust: remember to dress green / orange, and get baking for the themed bake-sale!

Here are some updates from an array of in-school events that have taken place this week…
