- 19 Nov 2025Trunchbull's Tombola – Donations Welcome! We are kindly requesting donations of sweets and chocolates for our upcoming Trunchbull's Tombola. If you happen to be out shopping and are able to pop an item or two into your trolley for us, it would be greatly appreciated. To keep Miss Trunchbull satisfied (and to avoid her well-known disapproval!), we are hoping to receive all donations by 5th December. All donations can be passed to Mrs Cope, Mrs Sheldon, or dropped off at the school office. Thank you very much for your support and generosity. All profits raised will go towards our fabulous school production of Matilda the Musical JR!View This Post

- 19 Nov 2025A huge thank you to the RNLI We want to extend our thanks to the RNLI for delivering two fantastic assemblies to our students . Their sessions on water safety were not only informative, but also incredibly engaging, helping our students understand the importance of staying safe around water, especially as temperatures drop and conditions become more hazardous. The RNLI shared vital tips on how to enjoy water responsibly, what to do in an emergency and how small actions can save lives. These lessons are so important for our community and we're grateful for the time and effort they put into educating our young people. Thank you RNLI for the amazing, volunteer work you do every dayView This Post
